Edcafe AI grew a lot this year. Teachers used it across lessons, assignments, and student support, and the updates came in fast. This recap pulls all of Edcafe AI 2025 updates into one place so you can see what changed and what you can use right away.
The focus this year was practical flexibility: better quizzes, stronger assignment tools, clearer student interactions, and smoother workflows that help you plan and guide learning without extra steps.
Here is the full list of Edcafe AI updates from 2025 and a look at what is already being prepared for 2026.
1. Assessments Got Smarter and More Flexible
1.1 Real-Time and Asynchronous Quizzes
Teachers wanted quiz options that fit different lesson styles. These updates support both live teaching and independent work.
Teachers can now:
Run real-time quizzes and watch answers come in live
As soon as students submit their responses, you’ll see the results update instantly on your side without needing to refresh. This makes it easier to monitor progress and adjust instruction on the fly.
Here’s how:
- Run a quiz and stay on the ‘Responses’ page to see students submission pouring in
Turn any quiz into homework with asynchronous mode
You can assign the quiz by sharing a quiz link, QR code, or assign it to your Google Classroom or Teams. Students can work on the quiz based on their own timing while you can monitor their quiz result accordingly.
You can also control student access by enabling and disabling the quiz toggle:
Export quiz results to Excel for easy tracking and analysis
