SUPPORTED BY LEADING TECHNOLOGY ECOSYSTEMS

Written assessments need structure before they need marking.

Essay quizzes can be organised into sections and nested parts, with marks, answer guides and marking schemes attached to the answerable questions.

Creators can keep marking manual, use AI while reviewing responses, or use supported automatic marking. The marking basis remains visible so the result can still be checked.

What the essay workflow handles

Essay assessments in Quiyo can carry the structure a lecturer expects while still giving the creator control over how responses are reviewed.

Structure the paper

Create sections and nested questions such as 1A, 1Ai and 1B while assigning marks to each answerable part.

Prepare the marking basis

Add answer guides and marking schemes so the expected points are clear before attempts begin.

Choose how marking happens

Keep marking manual, use AI as an assistant, or enable automatic marking for supported written responses.

Review the result

Inspect responses and feedback, make corrections when necessary and release results according to the quiz settings.

How written assessments are prepared and reviewed

Essay creation supports structured papers with sections, nested subquestions, marks, expected-answer guidance and marking information. This lets the creator model a written assessment in a way that matches how the paper will actually be answered.

AI can assist with preparing answer guides and with evaluating written responses when automatic or assisted marking is enabled. Creators can still review the response, the marking context and the result before relying on the outcome for an important assessment.

The written-assessment flow stays connected to the same attempts and result system used elsewhere in Quiyo, so essay work can sit alongside objective questions, scoreboards and participant review.

This is designed for written assessments where question structure, expected points and review matter as much as the final score.
