This guide is for school administrators who want to use Edpire to create, share, and review assessments. No technical knowledge required.

​
Creating your account

  1. Go to edpire.com and click Sign Up
  2. Create your personal account first (email and password, or continue with Google)
  3. On the Welcome screen, choose Set up my organization (the other options are Teach on my own for a private workspace, and Join my organization if a colleague already created one and gave you its URL)
  4. Enter your organization’s name and details
Depending on how your organization was set up, you may land in your dashboard immediately or see a short “pending approval” screen while we activate the account. If you are still waiting after one business day, email support@edpire.com.
If a colleague has already created your organization, do not create a second one. Choose Join my organization and enter the organization URL they give you.

​
Creating an assessment

  1. Go to My Assessments in the sidebar
  2. Navigate into the folder you want it in, or stay at the top level
  3. Click New Assessment and give it a title
  4. The builder opens straight away
Everything else — time limit, passing score, attempts — is set in the builder’s Settings panel once you are in, so you can start writing questions immediately.

​
Adding exercises and questions

In the builder:
  1. Click Add Exercise to create a new exercise block
  2. Within each exercise, click Add Question
  3. Choose a question type (multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, open answer, etc.)
  4. Write your question content in the editor
  5. Add answer keys and set point values
  6. Click Save

​
Assessment settings

In the Settings panel:
  • Time limit — set a countdown timer (leave blank for untimed)
  • Passing score — minimum percentage to pass (default 50%)
  • Allowed attempts — how many times a learner can retry (0 = unlimited)
  • Show solutions — when to reveal correct answers (never / after due date / immediately)

​
Publishing and sharing

Once your assessment is ready:
  1. Click Publish in the top bar
  2. Your assessment receives a share code (e.g., ABC123)
  3. Share the assessment link with learners:
Learners do not need an Edpire account to take the assessment — just the link.

​
Sharing options

  • Direct link — paste in email, LMS, or classroom chat
  • Share code — learners enter it at your-org.edpire.com
  • Embed — if your LMS supports iframe embeds (contact your tech team)

​
Viewing results

After learners complete the assessment:
  1. Go to My Assessments in the sidebar
  2. Click on the assessment name
  3. Click Results to see all submissions
For each submission you’ll see:
  • Learner identifier
  • Score and percentage
  • Pass / Fail status
  • Time taken
  • Per-question breakdown (click to expand)

​
Exporting results

Click Export on the results page to download a CSV with all submissions. Useful for grade books and reports.

​
Organizing your assessments

My Assessments is where your assessments live. It works like a file browser: create folders, nest them, drag assessments between them, and search across everything. Use it to organize by subject, level, or term. An assessment lives in exactly one folder, the same way a file lives in one directory.
Collections are a separate, ordered grouping used mainly by platform integrations, where the same assessment can appear in several sequences. They are managed through the REST API rather than the dashboard. If you are connecting Edpire to another platform, your developer will find them in the API reference.

​
Managing API Keys

If you’re working with a development team to connect Edpire to another platform:
  1. Go to Integrations in the sidebar
  2. Click Create API Key
  3. Give it a name (e.g., “LMS Integration”)
  4. Select the required scopes (your developer will tell you which ones)
  5. Copy the key — it is shown only once
  6. Share it with your developer via a secure channel (not email or chat)
Your developer will also need to register your site’s domain under Integrations → Security. There are two separate lists there, and putting a domain in the wrong one is the most common setup mistake:
API keys give access to your org’s assessment data. Never share them publicly or put them in code repositories.
