For anyone in #TeamEnglish looking to use automated quizzing for homework @carousel for me is the perfect choice
Having used Microsoft forms a lot it is, for me, definitely better
One thing I especially like and that I think is particularly effective for English is... https://twitter.com/adamboxer1/status/1341714350600499202

...the ability to prompt more open ended and generative analytical responses rather than just the traditional gap fill questions (which you can of course do too)

For example a student might be met with a question like this
Here the student is prompted to analyse that specific image in much the same way they might in a full essay.
Perhaps they might write something like the below:

When they then come to see the results you can input a ‘model’ response for them to self assess.
