If you already have an assessment written, a past paper, a problem set, a test you have used for years, you do not need to rebuild it in Mindjoy. Hand it to the Educator Agent and it reproduces it as a lesson, questions and mark schemes included, ready to auto-mark.
Before you start: put the questions and the mark scheme or memo in the same file if you can. That single detail is the difference between marking that matches your exam and marking we have had to invent.
Bringing it in
1. Click Add Lesson, from inside the pathway you want it in, or from My Library for a standalone lesson.
2. Choose Copy My Lesson. This opens a chat with the Educator Agent, already briefed to reproduce your document as-is rather than reinterpret it.
3. Attach your file. PDF, Word, PowerPoint or an image all work.
4. Let it run. Copy My Lesson skips the planning step other lessons go through and builds straight from your document, so there is no draft outline to approve. It will not invent extra questions, reword your wording, or reshuffle your order.
5. The lesson lands in your library as an unpublished draft. Students see nothing until you publish it.
Check the mark schemes
Open the lesson and read through what came across. Where your document supplied a mark scheme, that is what the auto-marker will use.
Where it did not, we generate one, and a generated mark scheme is a guess at your intent. It will not know that you always accept the alternative method, or that spelling counts on this one. Anything you care about, write in. See Create a Mark Scheme with Instructions.
Set how marks reach students
For anything that counts, you almost certainly want On return, which holds every mark back until you have reviewed the marking and released it yourself. Set it from the lesson's more menu. The other options are On submission and Instant. See Setting the Feedback type for a lesson.
Then assign it
Publish the lesson, click Assign, tick the classroom, and use Optional settings to set a Start Date and Due Date. Submissions come back under the classroom's Assignments tab.
You can also do all of this by talking to the agent. "Copy this past paper into a lesson and assign it to Physics 101, due next Friday" is a perfectly good instruction.
