MobLab’s AI Survey Builder makes it faster than ever to generate classroom-ready surveys using lecture content, uploaded materials, or simple topic prompts. Whether you’re creating a lecture recap, quiz refresher, or custom study guide, the AI Builder helps you quickly turn ideas into interactive survey activities.
Getting Started
To begin, select the AI Survey Builder tab in your instructor console (located directly under the Gradebook tab).
Then Select a Use Case from the following options, including:
• Lecture Review Surveys – Highlight knowledge gaps based on recent lecture content
• Pre-Lecture Assessments – Gauge students’ baseline understanding before introducing a new topic
• Exam Preparation/Study Guide – Create quick review sets to help students study
• Build from Scratch – Customize everything with your instructions
• Question Uploader – Import questions from any file format (excluding graphs or tables)
• Exam/Quiz Refresher – Upload old exams to reformat or refresh for review
• Case Study/News Discussion – Use real-world materials to generate discussion-based questions
*Click on your preferred use case to continue.
Building Your Survey
Once a use case is selected, you’ll be asked to enter:
• Survey Objective – Define what you want the survey to accomplish
• Key Themes or Concepts – List topics for the survey to focus on (optional if you’re uploading material)
• Number of Questions – Choose how many questions you want the survey to generate
If you have supporting documents (slides, notes, articles, etc.), you can upload them in the Reference Material section. MobLab supports .doc, .pdf, .pptx, .txt, and other standard formats.
Adjusting Survey Settings
Under Advanced Settings, you’ll find several tools to customize the survey output:
• Content Focus Spectrum – Shift emphasis between content recall and conceptual reasoning
• Response Type Selector – Slide between open-ended and structured responses
• Difficulty Level – Choose from basic, intermediate, or advanced
• File Summary Inclusion – Optionally generate a summary of uploaded material
• Additional Instructions – Add context or instructions to guide the AI’s question generation
Once everything looks good, click Generate at the bottom of the page. (Note: You’ll need survey credits to generate the content.)
Previewing and Launching
After generation, you can preview the survey just like any other MobLab activity. You’ll be able to:
• Edit or delete questions
• Add media (images/videos)
• Adjust question order
• Set availability time and duration
• Monitor student responses once live
Use the Practice Mode or Reveal Answers toggle if you want to run the survey in review format or as a self-guided study tool.
Tips for Best Results
• Keep objectives clear and focused
• Use reference materials for contextually rich questions
• Adjust the open-ended/structured slider based on how you plan to debrief results
• For classroom discussion, try combining AI-generated surveys with open-ended formats or case studies
MobLab’s AI Survey Builder is a flexible tool that helps you turn lecture content into meaningful, interactive assessments in minutes. Whether you’re prepping for a class or designing a review session, it’s a fast, easy way to engage students and reinforce learning.
