Authors can designate specific questions for AI assistance during the question creation process. Currently, only 'Text Area' and 'Essay Type' questions are supported.

Enabling AI Assistance

1. In the Authoring module, click 'Create New' question.
2. Toggle the 'AI-supported question types' filter to display only compatible question types (Text Area and Essay Type).
3. Select your question type and open the editor.
4. In the question settings on the right panel, check the 'Enable AI-Supported Marking' box.

Question Design Limitations: To ensure compatibility with the AI grading models, the following restrictions apply when the AI-supported setting is enabled:

• Text Area Questions: Must contain only a single interaction block. The system will disable the option to insert multiple interaction blocks.
  
  
  
   
• Essay Type Questions: Must have 'Quantitative Rubrics' attached (Points based, Points Range, or Percentage Range). Qualitative rubrics, Marked Qualitative rubrics, Criterion, and Maximum Marks are not supported for Essay Types using AI assistance.
  
  

Filtering AI-Eligible Questions in the Bank: When building a question set, Authors can quickly find AI-ready questions in the item bank. An 'AI Eligible' column displays "Yes" for supported questions. You can apply a filter to this column to view only questions explicitly marked as AI-compatible.
 

Note: The AI grading models learn from human grading patterns to build confidence. Any modification to an AI-compatible question (editing text, rubrics, or criteria) generates a new question version.

When a new version is created, it is treated as an entirely new entity by the Inspera Graide engine. The AI's learning process starts from scratch for that new version, meaning graders will need to manually grade the initial submissions of the revised question until the AI rebuilds enough confidence to generate suggestions.
