  • Canvas
    • Canvas is a very popular LMS (learning management system) which allows for many opportunities for educators. Canvas gives the student and teacher access to a multitude of tools that include discussion boards, quizzes, exams, uploading of assignments (Word documents, photos, video recordings, etc.). Canvas does offer a free trial but if you wanted to fully dive into this LMS, you would need to pay for that deeper access.

From there, you create a name and compete in a speed / time based quiz. There are both free and paid versions for this site.
