Depth-of-Knowledge Questions
Questions targeted at a specific Webb Depth-of-Knowledge level, from recall to extended thinking.
What Depth-of-Knowledge Questions does
Generates questions calibrated to a single Webb Depth-of-Knowledge level — DOK 1 (recall) through DOK 4 (extended thinking) — so you can dial cognitive demand precisely instead of guessing at ‘hard’ or ‘easy’. It is the right tool when you are building a blueprint that must hit a set balance of demand, or when you want to see how a class copes as the same topic is pushed up one level at a time. Each question returns as a card with its answer.
Every input, explained
This reference is generated from the live tool definition, field by field.
Pick the education board (CBSE, CIE, state boards…). Every dropdown after this cascades from it, and the generated output follows that board’s syllabus wording. Required.
The class the material is for — sets age-appropriate depth and vocabulary. Required.
Subject list is scoped to the board and class you picked above. Required.
Optionally narrow the output to one chapter or topic from the canonical syllabus. Leave empty to let the AI stay at subject level. Optional.
e.g. e.g. Linear equations in two variables Required.
Choices: DOK 1 — Recall & Reproduction · DOK 2 — Skills & Concepts · DOK 3 — Strategic Thinking · DOK 4 — Extended Thinking. Default: 2. Optional.
Default: 5. Optional.
Choices: Concise — quick and tight · Standard · Detailed — extra depth & examples. Default: Standard. Optional.
Choices: Yes — AI adds diagrams & images where helpful · No — text only. Default: Yes. Optional.
Additional customization (optional)
e.g. Anything else the AI should keep in mind — tone, format, constraints, examples… Optional.
How to use it
Enter the Topic, then choose the DOK level — 1 (Recall & Reproduction), 2 (Skills & Concepts), 3 (Strategic Thinking) or 4 (Extended Thinking).
Set how many questions you want at that level and Generate.
To build a graduated set, run the tool a few times on the same topic at rising DOK levels and combine the results.
Not sure what to type? Click **Show example** in the form header — it fills every field with a real worked example (CBSE · Class 9 · Mathematics) and shows a pre-generated result without spending any AI credits. Undo restores your draft.
The runner also gives you a ✨ prompt assistant and voice input on text fields, file upload to pull in your own notes, and — where your board publishes one — an official-format proof panel.
Your questions & where to send them
This tool returns structured question cards (not just text) — each question renders with its options, answer and solution, and you can review or deselect individual questions before routing them anywhere.
Saves the selected questions into your library so they show up in every picker.
Builds a print-ready paper from the questions and opens it on the canvas.
Creates a ready-to-schedule online exam pre-loaded with these questions.
One click: saves the questions, builds a paper and creates an OMR exam with printable bubble sheets.
Send to → Offline (Answer Sheet)
Same one-click chain, but creates an offline answer-sheet exam for scan-and-grade workflows.
Attaches the questions to an LMS course as a graded exam activity — see Add to Course.
DOK measures the depth of the task, not its difficulty — a DOK 1 question can be hard to recall and a DOK 3 question can use simple content. Pick the level by the thinking you want, not by how tough it feels.
