How to create questions using AI

Currently, you can create two types of questions with AI: Single choice and Multiple choice.

1) From the Home screen, click on Questions.
2) Click on CREATE QUESTION.
3) Click on the question type: Single choice or Multiple choice.
4) Click on AI Full assisted.

When you click  AI Full assisted button to create the question, the following screen is displayed:

Properties

1) Test: choose the test where you want to include the question.
2) Skillgroups: choose the skillgroup where you want to include the question.

Prompt.

The input that a user or program provides to an AI to get a particular answer from the model is called a  prompt. This allows us to tell the AI what we want and how we want it. You have two options:

• Use the skillgroup as a prompt by ticking the checkbox of  Use skillgroup as Prompt or you can write your own prompt in the available field. Note: the prompt is mandatory.
• Use the Stem: here you can write the exact question you want for formulate.

Difficulty Level. You can select the level of difficulty with which you want the AI to generate the question.
Configuration. You can configure the following options (Note: none of the fields are mandatory):

• Generate an explanation: choose whether or not you want an explanation for the question.
• Create a true/false question: create a true/false question. If you select this option, you will not need to choose the number of answers.
• Number of questions: here you can select the number of questions you want to generate.
• Number of answers (2-6):select the number of answers you want to include. You can select from a minimum of 2 up to a maximum of 6.
• Grade: grade level based in the American schooling system. It begins around the age of three to prepare for the more didactic and academically intensive kindergarten, the traditional «first» class that school children participate in. Children usually start in kindergarten or grade one at the age of five or six and go up one grade each year until reaching grade 12 at the age of 17 or 18. The 12 years following the kindergarten year are usually organized under what is known as the ‘5-3-4 plan’ where grades 1 to 6 are in elementary (primary) school, grades 7 to 9 in junior high or middle school and grades 10 to 12 in a (senior) high school.

• Bloom’s taxonomy: framework used to categorize educational learning objectives into varying degrees of complexity. These levels range from basic recollection and understanding to higher-order thinking abilities like analysis, assessment, and creativity. This framework allows to create meaningful learning tasks and evaluations that push students at various cognitive levels and encourage in-depth comprehension and critical thinking.
  

  

  • Create: learners can put elements together to form a coherent or functional whole.
  • Evaluate: learners can evaluate the information by making judgments about the value of ideas, items, materials, and more.
  • Analyze:  learners can break down parts of a concept for more profound analysis.
  • Apply: learner can apply the concept in real life.
  • Understand:learners can understand and synthesize information through interpretation,classifying, summarizing, inferring, comparing, and explaining.
  • Remember: learners are able to recall, defining, or labelling.
• Depth of knowledge: This is a cognitive model consisting of four levels. DOK categorizes tasks according to the complexity of thinking required to successfully complete the task. (please note that complexity is different from difficulty).

  There are four levels:

  • Recall and Reproduction: Learners must recall or reproduce knowledge or skills.
  • Skill and Concepts: Learners must demonstrate skills by applying several concepts (basic inferences, summarizing, estimating, and categorizing).
  • Short-term strategic thinking: Learners should utilize short-term strategic thinking skills (questions with several alternative outcomes, addressing real-world situations).
  • Extended thinking: learners should engage in critical thinking and synthesize information from multiple sources.

Once you have selected all you preferred options, click on GENERATE QUESTIONS to create the questions. You will be taken to the Questions / New Question – Create a full AI assisted question screen:

You can see all AI generated question. Here you can  edit the Stem, Choice Options, or Explanation. You can move between the questions by clicking on the question tab. You can select the questions you want to save and add to the test by clicking on the star icon.

• If you need to add a new question, click on ADD NEW QUESTION.
• If you need to review your AI configuration, click on Show All Configuration. The following window will be displayed:

Once you have changed the configuration you can:

• Add questions to those questions you have not previously starred (please, make sure you have marked the question you want to keep before adding questions).
• Regenerate questions to discard all questions. This option will create the number of questions stated in the Number of questions box. Please note that, all the questions you have previously generated will be discarded.

In order  to save your questions, you must select them first by marking on the start icon. Once you have selected the question you want, click on  Save marked questions.
