Assessments - Add an Assessment using ✨Assistant AI

This guide walks you through creating, editing, and activating an AI-generated assessment.

✨This feature utilizes the Knowledge Anywhere ✨Assistant AI for Studio to function

Before you begin: You'll need an ✨Assistant AI for Studio license assigned to your user account. If an AI option appears greyed out, contact your administrator or Customer Success. If you've just been granted a license, sign out and back in before the AI options will appear.

This article will cover the flow of creating an assessment course via a resource document. Course Studio supports its own method of creating assessments using Assistant AI for Studio.

Choosing a Generation Method

There are three ways to generate an assessment with AI:

Method

Best for

Where it's available

From Text

Quickly building questions from copy you paste in

Assessment courses and Studio assessment pages

From Existing Document

Building questions from a file in your Resources library

Assessment courses and Studio assessment pages

From Course Content

Testing learners on the sections of a Studio course they've just completed

Studio assessment pages only

 

All three methods support Multiple Choice, Multi-Select, and True/False questions, and all three produce a standard assessment you can edit, configure, and activate like any other.

Generating an Assessment Course from Text or a Document

Add a Resource (Document method only)

If you're generating from pasted text, skip to Step 2.

Go to Content > Manage Content > Resources and click Add A Document. Enter a Document Title and choose your file. Supported formats are .pdf, .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .tiff, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx, .csv, and .txt, with a maximum file size of 20 MB. Click Save to create the document.

Create the Assessment Course

Go to Content > Add Course > Assessment. Fill out the course details and any optional metadata, then save. Once the course is created, open the Assessment tab and adjust the passing score if needed.

Generate Your Questions

On the Assessment tab, select Add Assessment and choose your method.

  • Generate from a Resource: Select Assessment from Existing Resource, which opens a side panel where you choose the document you uploaded in Step 1. Click Create Assessment From Resource, fill out the details and question types, and click Generate AI Assessment. Generation from a document can take several minutes. You can keep working on other tasks in the meantime, and a green notification bar will appear when it's complete.
  • Generate from text: Select Add Assessment From Text. Enter the assessment title, description, and any metadata. Choose how many questions you want and which question types to include. Paste your source text into the box on the right; it supports up to 160,000 characters, including spaces. The number of questions available depends on how much text you provide.
Click Generate AI Assessment once ready.

The time it takes to generate questions is dependent on how many are being generated; more questions, the longer time to generate them all. Once questions are generated, you can then move onto editing questions.

Tip: The more content provided to the Assessment generator, the more questions will be able to be generated. 

Review and Edit your Questions and Answers

Once questions are generated, the LMS will move to an Edit Assessment with three tabs, Questions can be reviewd via the third tab, View Questions and Answers. Feel free to edit further until you're ready to activate. 

The images above showcase editing a multiple choice question, the UI will be different depending on the question type. All question types do support similar editing capabilities, such as font sizing, answer format, the ability to add images and more. 

Tip: Not shown here, multiple choice and select question types support a randomization answer order, ideal for ensuring learners cant game a quiz by memorizing the answer order. 

Activate Your Assessment

Assessments are inactive by default so activating it is the final step. In the Assessment course object created in step 2, go to the content tab and flip the toggle to active. Provided the assessment is assigned to learners, it will be available for learners to take. 

Bonus: Generating an Assessment on a Studio Course

To generate an assessment in a studio course, first navigate to the assessment page, where several options are provided for applying an assessment. 

Going with the prior steps in this article, generating from resource can be selected. However, Studio courses allow assessments to be generated

Selecting "Generate from Course Content" will open a new section, Generate with Assistant. The image above and below are an assessment page within a specific section of a studio course. With that in mind, that section is the only one selected for the Assistant to reference for the question generation by default. Depending on needs, choosing additional sections or sources might be prudent to include in the section assessment. Or, all sections and sources could be chosen for a a final assessment at the end of the course. This allows flexibility for the content topics. 

The rest of the creation process remains the same, select a number of questions, and select ✨ Generate Assessment.
