Instructor Assessment Variant Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

When course teams create new versions of test questions, the difficulty or learning objective can shift by accident, or a numeric question may have no valid answer. Learners then get unfair or broken items. This agent picks approved question patterns for the requested objective and generates variants. It solves each variant itself and checks it against the rubric and the objective. It also checks for duplicates of existing items and ambiguous wording. Any item it cannot solve, or that is unclear, is revised within the pattern's rules and solved again before it enters the draft. The assessment designer reviews the form with rationales and approves release. Edge case: a variant that is correct but much easier than the pattern's target difficulty is rejected.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It picks patterns that cover the requested objective and are not yet used, solves each generated item, and revises infeasible or ambiguous items until they pass.

  • Pattern choice: patterns that cover the objective and avoid existing items.
  • Accept an item: solvable, unique, unambiguous and aligned with the rubric.
  • Difficulty: reject variants that miss the pattern's target difficulty.
  • Revise limit: after three failed revisions, drop the variant and generate a new one.

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Number of variants per request (default 20)
  • Similarity level that counts as a duplicate (default 85%)
  • Difficulty range allowed per pattern
  • Rationale format (default worked solution plus rubric reference)
  • Who approves release (default the assessment designer)

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Release to learners
  • Use in exams

Hard limits

  • Not used for high-stakes exams without approval.

It stops when

  • Done: requested number of items pass.

An example run

What happensOn May 5 designer Clara Yoon requests 20 variants for a budgeting objective. Variant 7, a cost question, has constraints with no valid answer, so the solvability check fails. The agent widens one range within the pattern's rules, solves it, and adds the rationale. Variant 12 duplicates an existing item and is replaced. Clara approves 20 items for the practice form.
