After 10 years of empowering educators and students with engaging learning experiences, Quizizz has officially rebranded as WayGround. The new name reflects the platform’s evolution beyond quizzes towards a broader, AI-enhanced learning journey.

What is WayGround (formerly Quizizz)?

WayGround is an interactive AI-enabled quiz and lesson platform that is designed to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. It provides educators with a dynamic way to assess student understanding, promote peer learning, and gather valuable insights into class performance.  Whether you’re teaching in-person or remotely, WayGround offers a versatile solution for creating engaging quizzes and interactive lessons.

Over 175 Teesside University academic and support staff are currently active in our institutional group, which continues to offer lifetime access to AI-powered features. Fortunately, no action is required at this time—your account, content, and existing resources remain unchanged.

Why the change?

According to WayGround, this name reflects their vision to support deeper understanding, not just fast answers. They continue to focus on creating engaging, student-centred tools that help you teach and assess more meaningfully.

Initial login to WayGround (for previous users of Quizizz)

When you first access the new WayGround website or via the old Quizizz web address (which will automatically forward you to the new WayGround homepage), the User Interface will look slightly different.  Click the login button located in the top right corner, then continue to log in with the previously used method (most likely ‘Continue with Email’)
