ReQUESTA

ReQUESTA is an AI-assisted drafting tool that can quickly generate first-draft assessment questions from your course materials. Rather than producing surface-level recall items, it analyzes course content to identify key concepts and underlying inferences, producing items for interpretation and understanding — while keeping you in control of cognitive level, accuracy, and alignment with course learning outcomes.
