IgniteAI Question Authoring

May 29, 2026

Anyone who has written their own assessment questions knows the process is more challenging than it seems. Aligning questions to the appropriate standards, ensuring clarity without making the answer too obvious, and creating believable distractors all require significant time and expertise.

IgniteAI's Question Authoring was designed to serve as a collaborative co-pilot for that process. Built around the way educators naturally develop assessments, the guided workflow helps streamline question creation while maintaining instructional quality and rigor.

  1. To begin, educators upload or select source materials such as Canvas modules/pages, reading passages, or other instructional documents. 

  2. From there, they can identify the standards, topics, or learning outcomes they want to assess and can further customize parameters including Depth of Knowledge and taxonomy levels.

  3. Using those instructional guardrails, Question Authoring generates assessment items that are aligned, rigorous, and classroom-ready.
