Owlia Question

v1.2.0 AIMoodle 4.5 – 5.3In development

Open-answer quiz questions with AI-assisted evaluation — the instructor always decides the grade.

Owlia Question is an open-answer question type for Moodle quizzes. Instructors write the question with a model answer, grading criteria and points; learners answer in their own words and, when the instructor allows it, can translate the question text into their language while the original stays the official version.

Its AI-assisted evaluation proposes feedback and a score for each answer, which the instructor reviews and applies — the AI never writes a grade on its own. Development is complete; the plugin is undergoing formal EU AI Act review and GDPR alignment before release, and until then answers are marked by the instructor.

Learning alignment

The value for learners and instructors

Where this plugin genuinely supports learning — and where it does not.

Human oversight

Core

Every grade is a human decision: AI proposals are shown to the instructor, who applies, adjusts or replaces them.

Instructor workload

Supporting

Once AI-assisted evaluation is released, instructors start from a proposed score and feedback instead of a blank page for every open answer.

Multilingual access

Supporting

Learners can read the question in a language they are comfortable with, with the original always one click away.

What it does not do

Owlia Question is for graded quizzes, not practice: for low-stakes feedback without a grade, use Owlia Formative Practice. It is not yet available, and works only inside quizzes.
