About
ClassPoint is the leading student engagement and interactive teaching tool built seamlessly inside Microsoft PowerPoint. Rather than requiring educators to switch between apps, ClassPoint enhances PowerPoint with a powerful suite of engagement features accessible during any presentation or class session. At its core, ClassPoint offers a rich variety of interactive quiz types — Multiple Choice, Word Cloud, Fill in the Blanks, Short Answer, Video Upload, Image Upload, Slide Drawing, and Audio Record — allowing instructors to gather live responses from participants instantly. Its AI-powered quiz generator reads existing slide content and automatically creates Bloom's Taxonomy-aligned questions in multiple languages, drastically reducing lesson prep time. ClassPoint also brings full gamification to the classroom: students can earn stars, level up, collect badges, and compete on a real-time leaderboard, driving active participation and sustained motivation. Class management features like group rosters, a Random Name Picker, and timer tools keep sessions organized and fair. On the presentation side, ClassPoint adds annotation tools, draggable slide objects, whiteboard backgrounds, and text box overlays — all usable during live slideshow mode. The platform serves half of all schools in Singapore and is rated 4.8–4.9 stars on Product Hunt and Capterra. It is ideal for K-12 teachers, university professors, corporate trainers, and anyone who presents in PowerPoint and wants to meaningfully engage their audience.
