Writing Effective Prompts for AI-Assisted Question Generation
To get the best results from the AI-assisted question generation in Assessments, it’s important that you write clear and focused prompts. Here are a few helpful tips:
1. Be Specific
Clearly define the subject and focus of your assessment. The more specific your prompt, the better the AI can tailor the questions.
Example - Instead of: “Math questions”, Try: “Algebra questions on solving linear equations with one variable”.
2. Use Standards or Educational Objectives
If you're aiming to assess specific learning objectives or curriculum standards, include them in your prompt.
Example - "Develop questions that test analytical skills in Shakespeare's plays" or define the standard "common core standard 1.0 AB 3".
3. Include Difficulty Level
Mention the appropriate challenge level to match your students' abilities.
Example: “Generate beginner-level questions about photosynthesis for Grade 6 learners”.
4. Add a Theme or Real-World Context
Giving Showbie AI more insight into your questioning style is beneficial. You can add a question you wrote and request the AI to use the same style.
Here's an example of a concise prompt that gives AI a framework for generating relevant and engaging questions:
"Create a moderately difficult quiz for students in an 8th-grade British
Literature class studying Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. Include questions on theme, character development, and literary devices. The students are 12-13 years old."
By following these guidelines, you will leverage our AI integration to create customized, effective, and engaging assessments that cater to your students' unique learning needs!
Generate a Question from Reference Content
Let AI create questions based on reference content, knowledge, or an excerpt/passage you provide. Here's an example prompt that references an excerpt from Romeo & Juliet:
Example - "Create a moderately difficult quiz for 12-13-year-old students in an 8th grade British Literature class studying Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. Base questions on: O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father, and refuse thy name; Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I’ll no longer be a Capulet."
