We discuss how we see QueryTek AI being used in academic publishing settings. We’re very excited to share these ideas with you. We hope they inspire you to learn more about QueryTek and how it will save textbook publishers both time and money.
The Case for AI- Augmented Assessment Creation
For decades, building test banks and rejoinders has been a slow grind, one that eats up hundreds of hours as experts write, editors revise, and teams shuffle drafts back and forth. It’s work that demands precision and care, but it’s also repetitive, expensive, and hard to scale when deadlines loom or standards shift.
Extanto: AI Assisted Assessment Creation in Higher Education
Extanto has launched a new service designed to reshape how textbook publishers create test bank materials for higher education. This offering blends expert-led prompt engineering with advanced generative AI to produce assessment content that is pedagogically sound, intellectually rigorous, and customized to the instructional priorities of each client.
The Socratic Method and its Importance to Mathematics
The Socratic method, rooted in dialectical questioning, proves particularly effective in mathematics education. By posing targeted questions, educators can help students deconstruct problems, recognize logical connections, and refine their approaches.
Extanto Content Reviews: Sensitivity, Authenticity and Enhanced Expertise
We have three distinct types of reviews that we now offer our higher education publishing clients, each of which produce high-quality, actionable and accurate results: sensitivity reviews, authenticity reviews and enhanced reviews by subject matter experts. Each of these approaches offers unique benefits and addresses specific requirments of content evaluation, contributing to a more comprehensive and nuanced final product.
Sensitivity Reviews: A Compassionate Approach to Educational Content
Extanto has been performing content sensitivity reviews for our higher education publishing clients for several years. This is a service that our clients value and an opportunity that we relish and, at this time, it’s probably helpful for us to explain why. The political climate has cast a shadow on this work, often mischaracterizing it as censorship or ideological manipulation. We believe it’s time to have a look at the true essence of sensitivity reviews: compassion for students and their learning experiences.
