Creating a Question Pool #
You can find detailed instructions on how to create a question pool in the following article.
Generate Questions with AI while Creating a Question Pool #
There are two ways of generating questions with AI. The first one is used during the process of question pool creation.
When the pop-up appears, please do the following:
- Enter the name. The pool name must be unique.
- Optionally, add the description to provide more information about the pool.
- Optionally add the External ID. The external ID must be a unique identifier assigned to a question pool, which can be used to integrate it with other external systems.
- Enable Generate questions with AI.
- You’ll be prompted to choose the resource for question generation. You can opt for the Global knowledge base or the Local library, which is integrated into the application.
- Choose the Question type. There are 7 supported question types: Single choice, Multiple choice, Ordering, Fill in the blanks, True/False, Matching, and Open-ended questions. Check these articles to learn more about question types.
- Define the Topic.
- Set the number of required questions.
- Click the Save button. It will take a couple of minutes before you see the previously defined question types.
Useful tip: Get creative with the Topic field! If you’re basing the questions on written content – instructions, book snippets, etc., you can copy the text in the field and prompt the generator to create questions based on it.
Generate Questions with AI in the existing question pool #
This way of generating questions with AI is possible within an existing question pool that is either empty or already has some questions.
First, you need to access the particular question pool to generate questions with AI within an existing question pool.
After creating the question pool, follow these steps to generate questions:
- Go to the Questions tab.
- Click on the Generate questions with AI button.
- When the pop-up window appears, you’ll be prompted to choose the resource for question generation. You can opt for the Global knowledge base or the Local library, which is integrated into the application.
- Select the specific question type that aligns with your requirements.
- Write the topic or subject matter for which you want to generate questions. This helps the AI tailor the questions accordingly.
- Indicate the number of questions you wish to generate.
- Click the Generate button to initiate the question generation process. Your questions will be created based on your chosen parameters and topic.
Reviewing the Generated Questions #
Once the process is completed, you will see that your question pool now contains questions on the topic you gave to the AI. For each question you can:
- Check the preview.
- Click on the three dots icon to access more options.
- Edit the question.
- Review all versions of the question.
- Delete the question.
