This checklist sets out what to check before you publish quizzes, lessons and learning paths that AI generated. The single most important habit for using AI safely is fixing the points a person must always review.
- AI output is a draft; a person is responsible for publishing it
- Sticking to the same seven review points keeps reviews consistent
- When in doubt, put the learner's perspective first
The basic stance for reviewing
Before getting into the individual review points, there are three principles the whole team should share.
AI output is a draft
Don't publish it as is. Treat it as raw material for a person to finish.
A person is responsible for publishing
In the end, the question is who checked it and put it out.
When in doubt, think like a learner
If you can't decide, go with what works best for the learner.
The checklist (seven review points)
Before publishing, go through these seven points in order. Once every item under "What to check" is a yes, move on to the next point.
| Review point | What to check | Red flags / rule of thumb |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Does it match the purpose and goal? |
|
|
| 2 Does it fit the target role? |
|
AI easily loses track of who the content is for, so a person must always check this. |
| 3 Do the wording and terms follow company standards? |
|
Correct in general, but different from your company's rules |
| 4 Is the difficulty right? |
|
As a rule of thumb, check whether you're aiming for 70–80% of answers correct. |
| 5 Are the quiz explanations sound? |
|
The explanation is where the real learning happens. Don't skip it. |
| 6 Are there any AI-specific risks? |
|
AI can be confidently wrong. |
| 7 Can you picture it being used on the job? |
|
Use whether it changes behavior after reading as your yardstick. |
Final check: deciding to publish
After going through the seven points, ask yourself these two last questions.
Tips for making review part of your process
Review is pointless if the standard changes depending on who's doing it. These three practices keep it consistent across the team.
- Use a fixed checklist
- Share the review points across the team
- Start strict, then relax gradually
This turns AI from something scary into a reliable tool.
