The quiz builder
Authoring questions: types, Bloom tagging, misconception distractors and reuse across quiz groups.
Question types
Bloom levels and concept tags
Every question carries a Bloom level and marks. The Bloom level is not decoration: it determines a student’s Bloom ceiling within the gate, which is what separates a student who is shallow from one who has surface gaps.
Concept tags map a question to the concepts it tests. They drive the concept map and misconception clustering in class analytics — an untagged question still marks correctly but contributes nothing diagnostic.
Aim for a spread across Bloom levels within a gate. A quiz group that is entirely remember will show every student at a ceiling of remember, which tells you nothing about any of them.
Misconception-based distractors
Generated MCQ distractors encode specific, known misconceptions rather than being plausibly wrong at random. That is what makes wrong-answer clustering work: when a third of the class picks the same distractor, analytics can name the misconception behind it instead of reporting that the question was hard.
Reuse and overrides
Questions live in a bank and are pulled into quiz groups. The same question can appear in a practice quiz and a final with different difficulty and Bloom overrides per use, so you are not maintaining two near-identical copies that drift apart.
Attaching questions to lessons
Questions are mapped to gates and, through them, to lessons. That mapping is what lets a missed question feed the right gate’s mastery and the right remediation. A question with no gate mapping marks correctly but is invisible to everything downstream.
