AI Quiz & Assessment Builder
The AI Quiz Builder is one of 91 AI tools inside OpenEduCat. It reads your course material and drafts practice-quiz questions with rubrics and Bloom's taxonomy tags — formative practice that is never graded by AI. You review, edit, and decide what counts. The AI does the assembly work.
What the Quiz Builder Does
Four capabilities that turn course content into teacher-approved practice quizzes.
Multiple Question Formats
Draft multiple-choice, true/false, fill-in-the-blank, short answer, and essay questions from any course material — upload unit notes and get back a full question set across formats, ready for teacher review. Each MCQ comes with four plausible distractors, not obvious filler options.
Bloom's Taxonomy Alignment
Every generated question is tagged with its Bloom's level: Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, or Evaluation. You can request a specific distribution (say, 30% Application and 20% Analysis) and the generator matches it. Accreditation reviewers see the cognitive rigor without you manually classifying each question.
Rubric Generation
For essay and short-answer questions, the AI produces a scoring rubric with clear criteria for each grade level. A 4-point rubric might break down into Thesis Clarity, Evidence Use, Argument Structure, and Writing Quality, each with explicit descriptors for what a 4, 3, 2, or 1 looks like. Faculty can adjust the rubric before publishing.
Question Variety & Randomization
Each generated quiz supports question randomization and answer shuffling. The AI can draft parallel versions of the same quiz with equivalent difficulty but different question stems and answer choices — useful for practice rotations and for keeping question banks fresh across sections and semesters. Instructors choose which versions to use and how.
How It Works
Three steps from source material to published quiz.
Upload or select course material
Point the quiz builder at a specific chapter, lecture notes, or the full course syllabus already stored in OpenEduCat. You can also paste in text or upload a PDF. The AI reads the source material and identifies testable concepts.
Set quiz parameters
Choose the number of questions, question types (MCQ, short answer, essay), difficulty distribution across Bloom's levels, and time limit. Need 20 MCQs at the Application level for a 30-minute pop quiz? Set those constraints and go.
Review, edit, and assign
The drafted quiz appears in OpenEduCat's quiz editor. Edit any question, swap distractors, reorder items, delete what doesn't fit. When ready, assign it as formative practice. Practice results never write to the gradebook — instructors decide separately what counts toward grades, through the normal assessment workflow.

Bring Your Own Model
The Quiz Builder runs on the AI endpoint your institution already governs — Azure OpenAI, Google Vertex AI, AWS Bedrock, or another compatible provider. Course materials and generated questions travel between your OpenEduCat instance and that endpoint under your own agreement, region, and data terms. No question data passes through OpenEduCat's servers.
Schools with strict data residency policies choose the endpoint region under their own cloud agreement, and guardrails, spending budgets, and audit logs apply to every generation.
