New Magic School Assessment Features

published by Mike Neumire on 2/5/2026

For a little while now, Magic School has been teasing a large new update to their platform, saying it will be an "AI Operating System." It hasn't been entirely clear what that would mean, but last week they released a beta version of some assessment tools: an in-house quiz tool and a rubric-based writing grading tool. Many of us have used Magic School to generate quiz questions and then take them elsewhere, like to Google Forms for students to actually answer. Now, that is no longer necessary- students can take the quizzes right in Magic School. Writing feedback is also not new to Magic School, but this new tool streamlines the whole process of grading and returning feedback to students. This leads me to believe that the "AI Operating System" Magic School will be releasing will resemble something like Google Classroom, where students can stay within the Magic School ecosystem.
