✅ Quality Review Checklist

A systematic approach to reviewing AI-generated content before student delivery.

🎯 Factual Accuracy

AI can hallucinate facts. Verify all factual claims.

  • All dates are correct and verified
  • Names and proper nouns spelled correctly
  • Formulas and equations are accurate
  • Statistics come from reliable sources
  • No hallucinated facts, events, or quotes
  • Information is current (not outdated)
  • Technical terms used correctly
⚠️ Common AI Hallucinations
  • Invented historical dates or events
  • Fabricated quotes from real people
  • Made-up statistics or studies
  • Non-existent book or paper references

📚 Pedagogical Appropriateness

Ensure content matches learning objectives and student readiness.

  • Difficulty matches the proficiency level (1/3, 2/3, 3/3)
  • Explanations are clear and logical
  • Examples are relevant to students
  • Scaffolding is properly structured
  • Learning objectives are aligned
  • Progression makes pedagogical sense
  • Prerequisites are established before advanced concepts

⚖️ Cultural Sensitivity

AI can inherit biases from training data. Review for inclusivity.

  • No biased representations of groups
  • Inclusive examples across cultures
  • Respectful of diverse perspectives
  • No stereotypes or generalizations
  • Appropriate for international students
  • Gender-neutral language where appropriate
  • Disability-inclusive language and examples
💡 Tip: Ask Yourself "Would any student in my class feel excluded or stereotyped by this content?"

🔧 Technical Quality

Verify the content renders and functions correctly.

  • No formatting errors
  • Code snippets render correctly (if applicable)
  • Mathematical equations display properly (LaTeX)
  • Links work (if included)
  • JSON structure is valid
  • No corrupted or garbled text
  • Images load correctly (if any)

📝 Assessment Quality (SATA)

For assessment content, additional checks are required.

  • Questions are clearly written
  • Correct answers are actually correct
  • Distractors are plausible but clearly wrong
  • No trick questions or ambiguous wording
  • Questions match the competency being assessed
  • Difficulty is appropriate for the level
  • Explanations help learning (not just state correct answer)
  • Select-all-that-apply questions have clear instructions

🔒 Student Safety

Ensure content is appropriate for all learners.

  • Age-appropriate language
  • No harmful or dangerous instructions
  • No offensive content
  • Sensitive topics handled appropriately
