Overview

This skill creates high-quality quizzes in multiple formats: multiple choice, true/false, fill-in-the-blank, and matching. It auto-generates plausible distractors and provides instant grading with clear explanations for each answer. The output is ready to use in learning platforms, classrooms, or training sessions.

How this skill works

Provide the topic, target audience, desired number of questions, difficulty level, and preferred formats. The skill drafts questions, generates distractors that are contextually plausible, and produces model answers with step-by-step explanations. It also outputs a graded key and optional feedback messages for correct and incorrect responses.

When to use it

  • Building formative assessments for lessons or workshops
  • Creating practice exams or study guides for students
  • Generating corporate training checks and knowledge verifications
  • Quickly assembling review quizzes for self-study
  • Producing content for e-learning platforms or LMS import

Best practices

  • Specify learning objectives and difficulty per question to align content with goals
  • Request a mix of question types to assess recall, comprehension, and application
  • Provide a short context or passage when questions require interpretation
  • Ask for distractor rationale if you need to explain why wrong options are incorrect
  • Use clear grading rubrics and set partial-credit rules for multi-part items

Example use cases

  • Create a 15-question mixed-format quiz on photosynthesis for high school biology
  • Generate a 10-question multiple choice assessment with explanations for corporate onboarding
  • Convert a training module into a 20-item quiz with instant scoring and feedback messages
  • Produce fill-in-the-blank vocabulary practice for language learners with answer variants
  • Design a matching quiz that pairs historical events with their dates and short justifications

FAQ

Can I customize the difficulty and style of distractors?

Yes. Specify difficulty level and whether distractors should be common misconceptions, close synonyms, or numerically similar options.

Does it support export formats for LMS?

The skill outputs copy-paste ready content and can be adapted to common LMS formats; request SCORM or QTI templates if you need them.
