AI Quick Assessment

The AI Quick Assessment Snapshot (openeducat_ai_quick_assesment_snapshot) module provides an intelligent, automated formative assessment studio for educators. By integrating AI agents directly into OpenEduCat’s Lesson Planning framework, instructors can instantly generate targeted evaluation questions—including Exit Tickets, Bell Ringers, Quick Quizzes, and Think-Pair-Share prompts—directly from lesson topics with a single click.

Key Features

  • Lesson Integration: Generate instant assessments directly from any active lesson plan form using the header action or smart button.

  • Pedagogical Formats: Supports 6 formative assessment types: Exit Ticket, Bell Ringer, Thumbs Up/Down Self-Assessment, One-Minute Paper, Quick Quiz, and Think-Pair-Share Prompt.

  • Multi-Format Question Generation: Automatically produces Multiple Choice, Short Answer, True/False, and Open-Ended questions.

  • Differentiated Difficulty Levels: Questions are automatically tagged with difficulty tiers (Easy, Medium, Hard) for targeted learning evaluation.

  • Automatic Agent Deployment: Automatically deploys and activates the Quick Assessment Question Generator AI Agent from the Agent Library if not already active.

Each generated row includes: * Question Text: Clear, topic-aligned question prompt. * Question Type: Multiple Choice, Short Answer, True/False, or Open-Ended. * Difficulty: Assigned tier (Easy, Medium, or Hard). * Options: Multi-line list of choices for Multiple Choice or True/False. * Correct Answer: The expected answer key.

4. Review and Finalize

  1. Teachers can manually edit any question text, options, difficulty, or sequence handle directly inline.

  2. Add any internal observations in the Notes tab.

  3. Click Mark Ready to transition the assessment state from Draft to Ready.

Agent Library Integration

The module relies on the Quick Assessment Question Generator AI Agent:

  • Automated Deployment: If the agent is missing, the system automatically locates the Quick Assessment Question Generator template in the AIO Agent Library and deploys it automatically on first click.

  • Structured Output: Uses JSON schema validation to ensure generated questions, option choices, and answer keys strictly match OpenEduCat database models.
