Question types

Multiple Choice

Learners select one correct answer from a list of options.

• Add as many options as needed
• Mark one option as correct
• Optional: add explanations for correct/incorrect answers

Tip: Add explanatory feedback to reinforce learning, not just flag the right answer.

Short Answer

Learners type a brief response. The AI Assessment Agent evaluates the answer against a model answer you provide.

• Enter your model answer — this guides the AI grader
• Set a score weight for this question
• Set AI Help Hints — the number of hints learners can request while answering (0 = disabled). When a learner clicks Get a Hint, the AI provides a guiding clue based on the question and what they've typed so far, without giving away the answer
• See AI Assessment for how grading works

Essay

Learners write an extended response. AI grading evaluates against a rubric or model answer.

• Define a grading rubric or model answer
• Set a minimum word count (optional)
• Set AI Help Hints — learners can request up to this many AI-generated hints while writing. Each hint acknowledges what the learner has written so far and guides them to the next idea, without revealing the answer
• AI grading provides a score and written feedback to the learner

Fill in the Blank

Learners complete a sentence with missing word(s).

• Write the sentence with [blank] placeholders where words should be removed
• Specify accepted answers for each blank (exact match or synonyms)
• Case sensitivity is configurable

Example:

Matching

Learners drag items from one column to match items in another.

• Create pairs — a prompt and its correct match
• Add as many pairs as needed
• Order is randomized for learners

Sorting

Learners drag items into the correct order.

• List the items in the correct sequence
• Learners see them shuffled and must sort them
• Partial credit is configurable
