How to use the Assessment Blueprint Generator.
An assessment blueprint should distribute questions according to the intended learning, not convenience. Make weighting and cognitive demand visible.
Make the workflow fit your task.
Allocate assessment time and attention according to the taught objectives, then map question types to the intended reasoning. Check coverage, weighting and response time before writing the final items.

- Learning objectives and exam constraints.
- What you get

Illustrative input and output · a teaching example, not a live WebAct run
Example input
Blueprint a 30-minute assessment covering three equally important taught topics: measurement, fractions and data representation. Allocate five marks and ten minutes to each.
Completed example
Measurement: 10 minutes, 5 marks — one unit-selection item and one explained measurement task. Fractions: 10 minutes, 5 marks — one comparison and one explanation using a representation. Data representation: 10 minutes, 5 marks — read a chart and justify one interpretation. Total: 30 minutes, 15 marks. Review: confirm the actual items fit the allocated time and taught content before classroom use.

Decisions and troubleshooting.
Should equal topic importance always mean identical question counts?
Consider marks, time and demand as well as count. One extended response can carry more weight than several brief items.
Why does the blueprint overtest the easiest material to write questions for?
Return to the learning priorities and redistribute the assessment. Convenience should not determine what counts as achievement.
Try it with your own source.
Replace the example with your material in the task prompt. Keep the requirements you need, then copy the task into WebAct.
