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.

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.

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.
