What is in the Dates and events kit?

For history and anything with dates: events to order, and years to recall. It writes 10 questions from the material you paste, in the Timeline shape, and is asked to keep each to it.

Does it cost anything?

A free account opens every kit. Procto AI’s writing runs on a monthly allowance that the free plan includes; a children’s kit uses none of it, because its questions are made by rule.

What happens after the quiz?

The study screen shows the answer and the explanation after each question, then the questions missed, and offers a retry of those. Come back in a few days and take it again: what is still right then is what is known.

About this kit.

For history and anything with dates: events to order, and years to recall.

What the history, geography and religion kits are

History with dates in order and sources judged, geography with maps clicked and regions outlined, religious studies with texts and their claims. Rule kits for capitals, dates, flags and the sequence of events; material kits from your own textbook.

Why they are built this way

The humanities are about sequence, place and argument. A timeline shape tests the order of events better than any multiple choice; a map shape tests where; a source question tests judgement. These kits use those shapes, so a history student is tested as a historian is.

How to use them

Use the timeline and map kits for the backbone facts and the material kits for the course's own arguments. For essays, the defend-a-position shape with a rubric.

Written from your material

This kit is a recipe: the shape, the number of questions, the sections and the instructions Procto AI follows. Paste your own material and the questions are written from it, each with the passage its answer came from. Procto AI is asked to keep to your material, and each key is yours to check; every question is yours to edit before anyone sees it.

The shape: timeline

Events placed in date order test the backbone of history and of any subject with a chronology.

EdProcto marks arrangements by rule: each pair and each placement is its own small question when partial credit is on, and a sequence earns credit for every pair of steps that is the right way round, less every pair that is not, so the score reflects how much of the structure the student holds. The right-hand side of a matching question and the items of a sequence are shuffled with a seed the student does not have, so the page carries no key.

Taking it

Open it in study mode for the answer and the explanation after each question, and a retry of only what you missed. Switch to exam mode for the real conditions. It comes due again in a few days; the dashboard shows what is due and what you missed last time. Share it with a code for a class, print it as a paper, or host it on a screen for a room.
