Hosted quiz vs class assignment: what teachers should use first

A hosted quiz is the quiz itself. This is where you build the questions, set the access rules, and decide whether it is open, scheduled, or live.

A class assignment is what happens after the quiz already exists. In Classes, you choose one saved quiz and attach it to a classroom.

If you want one public practice link, stop at the hosted quiz stage. If you want one class to receive that quiz with grade tracking, create the assignment too.

The easiest teacher path is still the same: create quiz, create class, assign quiz.
