WHat can twee be used for?

A core function of Twee is its ability to generate diverse teaching activities and integrate content. It can instantly create materials such as dialogues, gap fills, and various matching tasks like word definition or collocation matching. Teachers can generate texts on any topic with specific vocabulary, and create various question types (open-ended, ABCD, true/false) from these texts or from uploaded audio and video content. Twee also features a level checker tool for pasted text and allows extensive customization and editing of all generated content, with projects automatically saved.

For sharing and assessment, Twee simplifies the process, allowing lessons to be easily shared with students via a QR code or a direct link. The platform supports instant feedback using AI responses for student work and provides teachers with access to student assignments and results. Lessons can be exported as PDFs, documents, or as separate parts of a Google Form, and projects can also be shared with other teachers.
