If you want to create a quiz with AI, here’s a simple guide to help you. The dedicated quiz generation dialog makes creating quizzes faster and easier.
Generating a quiz with AI
Create a quiz activity and click Generate with AI.
Enter a custom prompt, for example: "Create a quiz about security in internet usage".
Optionally attach a PDF or provide a link as a source.
Choose whether the AI should use the context of your course when generating questions.
You can generate the following question types:
Single Choice: one correct answer
Multiple Choice: multiple correct answers
Free Text: open-ended response
Ordering: arrange items in the correct sequence
Matching the Pairs: connect related items from two lists
Clicking Manual setup allows you to create a quiz manually without the help of AI.
Best practices for writing prompts
To get the most out of AI quiz generation:
Clearly state the topic, number of questions, and question type:
"Make 10 multiple-choice questions about internet security."
"Create a comprehensive quiz about cybersecurity best practices. The quiz should include 12 questions with a mix of question types: 4 single choice, 4 multiple choice, 2 ordering, and 2 matching the pairs. Make the questions detailed and challenging, with clear answer options for each, and include real-world examples where appropriate."
"Develop 8 matching the pairs questions about common leadership styles and their definitions."
Include context by letting the AI know if it should use your course content. Example: "Using the workplace safety course, create 5 single-choice questions."
Specify question type by indicating the type of questions you want to be created for the quiz.
Keep it concise. Short, clear prompts often generate better questions than long, vague instructions.
