In July, we launched quiz generation for Copilot, revolutionizing the way you create quizzes. And now, just a month later, we’ve taken things up a notch! Copilot can now not only generate quizzes with detailed answer explanations, but it also gives you the power to rewrite each question. No matter what quiz you are creating, Copilot is here to make the process smoother and more intuitive than ever before. Let’s dive in and check how it works!

 

Generate quiz with answer explanations

Starting now, when you generate a quiz using Copilot, if you select "Including answer explanations," each question will come with detailed explanations to clarify the reasoning behind the correct answers. You can review the solutions for each question and keep the draft to use. In this case, let’s try generating a math quiz for grade 9 students. Copilot shows us the step-by-step solutions to calculate the correct answer.

 

Quiz draft with answer explanations

Rewrite the questions and answer explanations
Once you keep the draft to use, if you need to do further modifications on questions, options or the answer explanation, you can easily rewrite it with Copilot’s assistance. Simply click the Copilot icon next to the question and specify how you'd like to modify it. For example, you can make the question easier or add more details to the answer explanation for better clarity. You can also manually customize the answer explanations as needed.

 

Rewrite questions and answer explanations

Generate answer explanation for newly created questions
After adjusting the generated questions, if you still need to add new ones, Copilot can help by generating answer explanations based on the correct answers you mark, saving you time on manual input.

Immediate results and answer explanation for responders
When respondents submit the quiz, they can view their results immediately. They can review the answer explanations to understand which areas they already mastered or where they could improve.

    When will copilot be available on forms to GRADE short answer questions?  It's useless except for multiple choice or numerical answer questions.
