Courses: Building an 'LMS-lite' for Quizizz

The Problem: Corporate trainers were struggling with "assignment fatigue." To deliver a comprehensive training module, they had to manually assign individual lessons, PDFs, and quizzes one by one. This led to a fragmented learner experience and a reporting nightmare, as trainers had to manually stitch data together to see an employee’s total progress.

To better serve our corporate partners, we needed to move beyond single-activity assignments. I led the design of Courses, a strategic feature designed to transform Quizizz from a tool for one-off quizzes into a comprehensive Learning Management System (LMS) lite. By creating a flexible container for multi-format content, we empowered trainers to build structured, sequential curriculum paths. This didn't just simplify the assignment process, it revolutionised how trainers tracked success by providing a single source of truth for learner data.
