A fast-track to relevant, grounded questions, no blank pages, no guesswork.
If you’ve ever stared at a blank screen wondering where to even begin when writing assessment questions, “Organise from Raw Text” is your new best friend. This Cirrus Assist feature lets you upload a block of instructional content, whether it’s a textbook chapter, training guide, course module, or any other reference material, and then extracts potential assessment items directly from it. No more disconnect between teaching and testing.
This tool transforms passive materials into active assessment. It’s faster, smarter, and firmly grounded in what learners have actually studied, ensuring your questions are relevant, purposeful, and aligned with real training modules.
How It Works
- Upload your content – Drop in a PDF, copy/paste a block of text, or pull content from learning materials you already have.
- Let Cirrus Assist read between the lines – The AI identifies potential question topics, concepts, and key ideas.
- Review draft questions – Cirrus will generate suggested items (complete with item options, feedback, titles, and tags) that you can review, edit, and refine.
- Build your assessment – Select the best items, adjust the wording at your leisure, and publish.
Why It’s a Game-Changer
- Aligned with learning – Items are grounded in materials students have actually studied, reducing cognitive leaps and improving fairness.
- Speeds up item creation – No more writing from scratch. Get 5–10 solid draft items in the time it takes to scroll through a document and manually create items.
- Curriculum consistency – Stay true to learning outcomes, qualification frameworks, and approved content.
Top Tips for Using “Organise from Raw Text”
💡Use clean source material. The clearer and better-structured your input, the more accurate your output. PDFs with proper headings and formatting work best.
💡Focus your uploads. Instead of dumping a whole textbook, select a chapter or section that targets a specific topic or skill.
💡Use it as a first draft. You’ll likely want to refine or combine questions, but this feature gives you a strong, structured starting point.
