AI+ for Assessment Design

Smarter Tests, Rubrics and Feedback

Assessments that hold. In a world where learners use AI.

Your MCQ distractors are weak, rubrics say "demonstrates understanding" at every level, and written feedback takes longer than the marking. The assessments you'd be proud to defend aren't the ones you have time to build. This book gives assessment designers the Assessment Design Prompt Toolkit (32 prompts from task design through feedback), a method for AI-resilient redesign, and a quality gate for AI-generated items. Built by an AI engineering firm for assessment designers who know a good question is the hardest thing to write.
