Getting ExamGiant Ready for Schools and Districts

Alongside the platform work, we have also been improving the materials needed to explain ExamGiant to schools and districts. We built a magazine-style ExamGiant feature PDF to present the platform in a more polished way. We also created Mandaluyong school proposal drafts, covers, rendered PDFs, screenshots, and supporting visuals. These materials help show ExamGiant as more than a collection of games. They explain the bigger picture: teacher-controlled practice, student engagement, reporting, assignments, competitions, and future head-to-head academic events. We also added diagrams and mockups for classroom 1v1 matches and four-basic-operations gameplay. Visual materials like these are useful because they make the experience easier to understand quickly. A school or district does not only need to know that a tool exists. They need to see how it fits into classrooms, how teachers use it, how students experience it, and how it can grow into competitions or events. This outreach work is p...

Starting LMS Integration with LTI 1.3

We have started the first phase of LMS integration for ExamGiant using LTI 1.3. LTI is the standard that allows learning platforms like Canvas, Moodle, Schoology, Blackboard, and other systems to launch outside tools securely. For schools, this matters because teachers and students often live inside an LMS already. This first phase is launch-only. That means an LMS can open ExamGiant and ExamGiant can verify the signed launch. We added support for tool keys, platform registration, launch states, user mappings, course/context mappings, resource links, and launch metadata. Grade passback is intentionally deferred for now. That is a later step. But the database structure is being prepared so grade passback can be added without needing to rethink the games from scratch. This is one of those updates that may not look flashy on the surface, but it matters a lot for school adoption. If ExamGiant is going to fit into real classrooms, it needs to connect with the systems schools already use. LT...

The V2 Exam Catalog Keeps Growing

A competition platform is only as strong as the content students can practice and compete on. That is why we have continued expanding the V2 game and exam catalog across many subjects. In math, the catalog now includes addition, subtraction, mixed operations, four basic operations, target number, slope, perpendicular slope, fractions, trigonometry, and inverse trigonometry. Science has grown with chemical names and formulas, polyatomic ions, acid naming, ionic compound naming, and ionic compound formula building. Medical and anatomy content now includes bones, landmarks, skull features, body regions, articulations, medical terms, and nursing terms. English includes synonyms, antonyms, parts of speech, hypernyms, and reading comprehension content. History, civics, geography, spelling, memory, and music have also been expanded or organized into the V2 registry. The long-term goal is simple: ExamGiant should not be only a math site, or only a trivia site, or only a test-prep site. It shou...
