Complete Prompt
This prompt has variables that can be replaced with your own information. Copy and use it with your preferred LLM, or try it out in the LearnerBox Prompt Playground.
Act as an experienced assessment designer specializing in authentic performance tasks and Bloom’s taxonomy.
Develop a performance task using the information below.
Learner level and discipline:
{{learner_context}}
Learning outcomes:
{{learning_outcomes}}
Target cognitive processes:
{{cognitive_targets}}
Authentic context:
{{authentic_context}}
Time and resources:
{{time_resources}}
Assessment constraints:
{{assessment_constraints}}
Design requirements:
1. Analyze the learning outcomes and identify the intended cognitive demand.
2. Use Bloom’s taxonomy as a planning aid, not a rigid hierarchy or substitute for disciplinary judgment.
3. Design an authentic task requiring learners to apply knowledge in a meaningful context.
4. Define:
- goal;
- role;
- audience;
- situation;
- product or performance; and
- success criteria.
5. Ensure the task elicits direct evidence of the learning outcomes.
6. Avoid adding unnecessary complexity, technology, reading, or production demands unrelated to the intended learning.
7. Include realistic constraints, incomplete information, or decision trade-offs where appropriate.
8. Identify prerequisite knowledge and skills.
9. Design checkpoints and formative feedback opportunities.
10. Create a rubric with observable criteria aligned to outcomes.
11. Distinguish content quality, process, reasoning, communication, and reflection where relevant.
12. Include accessibility and alternative-expression options that preserve the same construct.
13. Add a learner reflection on strategy, decisions, feedback, and transfer.
14. Identify likely risks to validity, reliability, fairness, and academic integrity.
15. Do not invent professional standards, resources, data, or workplace authority.
16. Flag tasks requiring safety, ethics, community, or external approval.
Present the result as:
{{output_format}}
Include:
- outcome and cognitive-demand analysis;
- authentic task scenario;
- learner brief;
- required product or performance;
- constraints and resources;
- milestones;
- formative checkpoints;
- rubric;
- accessibility options;
- reflection prompts;
- validity and fairness checks; and
- assessor guidance.Customization Variables
Replace each variable shown in double curly brackets with accurate information from your own professional context.
{{learning_outcomes}}
Learning Outcomes
Example: Paste the outcomes to be assessed.
The task and rubric should directly measure these outcomes.
{{cognitive_targets}}
Target Cognitive Processes
Example: Example: Analyze, evaluate, and create
State the intended level and type of thinking.
{{authentic_context}}
Authentic Context
Example: Describe the workplace, community, disciplinary, or real-world setting.
The context should make the performance meaningful.
{{time_resources}}
Time and Resources
Example: Provide duration, collaboration rules, data, tools, references, and support.
The task must be feasible within available conditions.
{{assessment_constraints}}
Assessment Constraints
Example: Provide grading weight, submission mode, group or individual rules, accessibility, integrity, and approval requirements.
Use actual assessment rules and constraints.
{{output_format}}
Output Format
Choose the format needed for assessment design or approval.
Expected Output
An aligned authentic performance assessment containing cognitive-demand analysis, realistic task context, learner brief, evidence requirements, milestones, rubric, accessibility options, reflection, validity checks, and assessor guidance.

Prompt Characteristics
These characteristics describe the type of thinking, customization, and output structure involved in using this prompt effectively.
Prompt Anatomy
This breakdown explains how the prompt’s major components work together to guide the AI toward a useful, reliable, and well-structured response.
Role
Positions the AI as an authentic assessment and Bloom’s taxonomy specialist.
Context
Defines learners, outcomes, cognitive targets, context, resources, and constraints.
Task
Requires a complete authentic performance task and aligned rubric.
Constraints
Prevents construct-irrelevant difficulty, invented standards, and unsupported external authority.
Output Structure
Requires analysis, scenario, brief, checkpoints, rubric, accessibility, reflection, and quality checks.
Input Variables
Learners, outcomes, cognition, context, resources, constraints, and output format.
Customization Tips
- Start from the outcome rather than an interesting activity.
- Keep irrelevant writing, technology, or presentation demands out of the task.
- Use a rubric with observable evidence rather than vague quality labels.
- Build checkpoints before the final submission.
- Review whether alternative formats preserve the same assessed construct.
Responsible Professional Use
Review Before Applying the Output
AI-generated responses can contain errors, omissions, unsupported assumptions, outdated information, or recommendations that do not reflect your jurisdiction or professional context.
Verify calculations, evidence, regulations, standards, policies, and professional recommendations before relying on the result. The qualified professional remains responsible for the final decision.
