Interactive Workshop Learning Check
After teaching a concept or running a workshop, it's hard to know if participants actually understood the material. Multiple-choice quizzes only test recognition, not comprehension, and they don't reveal misconceptions or gaps in understanding.
Rootwaise uses AI judging to let you check learning with rich, open-ended questions instead of rigid quizzes. Participants explain concepts in their own words, and the AI evaluates answers for correctness, completeness, and clarity using consistent, transparent criteria. This reveals how people think, not just whether they guessed right.
When to use this in your team or workshop
- Mid-workshop to check understanding before moving to the next topic
- At the end of a training session to assess what participants retained
- After explaining a new process or policy to ensure everyone understands it
- During onboarding to verify new team members grasp key concepts
- Before a hands-on exercise to confirm participants are ready to apply what they learned
How Rootwaise works in this scenario
1. Host sets the challenge
You create an open-ended question that tests understanding, like "In your own words, describe the 3 key steps of [topic]" or "Give one example of how you'll apply [concept] in your work." You can add your own context about the material you've covered, your organization's processes, or specific case studies so the AI understands what participants should know when evaluating answers. Unlike multiple-choice quizzes, open questions reveal how people think, not just whether they guessed right.
2. Participants answer on their own devices
Everyone writes their response on their device. This gives them time to think and formulate their answer, and it ensures you're testing actual understanding, not just quick recall.
3. AI evaluates answers using lenses
The AI applies the same criteria (correctness, completeness, clarity) to every answer. Whether you have 5 or 20 people, all answers get evaluated in seconds using consistent, transparent criteria. This gives you an objective view of understanding across the group.
4. Group sees rankings and discusses
Results are displayed ranked by the AI's evaluation, with scores and short AI feedback. You can ask "Why did this answer score high on correctness but low on completeness?" and turn the evaluation into a real learning moment. Review top answers to highlight correct understanding, address common misconceptions, and clarify any points that multiple people missed or misunderstood.
Example challenges you can run
"In your own words, describe the 3 key steps of [topic]."
Tests whether participants can recall and explain the main concepts.
"Give one example of how you'll apply [concept] in your work."
Checks if people can transfer learning to their actual context.
"What's a common mistake with [topic], and how can you avoid it?"
Reveals whether participants understand pitfalls and best practices.
"Explain the difference between [concept A] and [concept B]."
Tests conceptual understanding and ability to distinguish related ideas.
Why AI judging makes this better than classic quizzes
Open questions instead of multiple choice: AI judging lets you use rich, open-ended answers instead of rigid quizzes. This reveals how people think, not just whether they guessed right. When people misunderstand something, their written explanations make it clear where the confusion is.
Consistent, transparent criteria: AI applies the same lenses (correctness, completeness, clarity) to every answer. The AI evaluates all answers using the same criteria, giving you an objective view of understanding across the group.
Scales instantly: Up to 20 people: all answers get evaluated in seconds. This frees the facilitator to focus on reading the room, asking follow-ups, and guiding the conversation.
Deeper discussion, not just a scoreboard: Scores and short AI feedback give a starting point for reflection. You can ask "Why did this answer score high on correctness but low on completeness?" and turn the evaluation into a real learning moment.
Built-in documentation: All answers and scores are captured automatically. Useful for workshop reports, follow-ups, and tracking progress over time.
