Create a Question Bank
To generate a question bank, click on a lesson you have made in your course.
At the bottom of your created lesson, click 'Auto-generate question bank'.
Tip! When auto-generating question banks with the AI Design Assistant, you will not be able to add any additional prompts to the AI. It will take information from the lesson that you have selected to auto-generate a question bank for.
To determine the kind of question you will be generating, click under the 'Question Type' header and select the drop down menu to choose one of the 6 options.
Tip! The 'Inspire me!' question type provides a combination of the other 5 types of questions (including essay, fill in the blank, matching, multiple choice and true/false). You ca use this option to quickly generate questions of various types, rather than a single type of question.
Under the 'Complexity' header, select the complexity of the questions by moving the slider between 'Low' and 'High'.
Select the number of questions to be generated by the AI Design Assistant using the slider under the 'Number of questions' header, selecting between 1 and 10 questions.
Click 'Generate' to generate questions using the AI Design Assistant once you are happy with your selected settings.
Alert! You may have to click 'Generate' a few times before questions are generated. This is a known issue.
Review the generated questions and select the questions you wish to add to your question bank.
Tip! Please review the questions that the AI Design Assistant has generated. AI tends to 'hallucinate' and create questions with seemingly correct or partially correct answers, so please review to avoid any errors.
Once you have selected the questions you would like to add to your question bank, scroll to the bottom-right corner of the page and click 'Add to Question Bank'.
After a moment, a message will appear at the top of the browser, stating 'Question bank created. Go to Bank.' Click on 'Go to Bank' to edit the questions, the title of the question bank, and the points assigned to each question.
To edit a question in your question bank, go to the question, click on the ellipsis (...) and click on 'Edit' to edit the question.
Here, you can edit the text of the question, as well as the points associated with each question.
You can also change the name of the question bank by hovering over the title of the question bank and clicking on the pencil icon.
Click the '×' to exit out of the question bank once you have edited the content.
