Selective integration of AI into question authoring

I know that there are already plugins like https://github.com/wilenius/moodle-qbank_questiongen / https://moodle.org/plugins/qbank_questiongen which let you generate completely new questions using Gen AI.

This is a different idea, to assist humans while editing questions, but human working with AI, for example:

  • Suppose you are creating a Mutliple choice question and have written the question, and the right answer, and you want to say to the AI: "Please suggest some distractors (wrong answers) to complete this question."
  • Or, you have the questions and the various answers (could be Multiple-choice again, but this might also work for Short-answer, numerical, etc.) and you want to ask the AI "Please suggest some feedback for each possible answer, which will help students understand."

So, to do this, we will need

  • JavaScript to enhance those editing form.
  • And, when the student clicks the button (or whatever), we need to use the Moodle AI subsystem to generate what is asked for.
  • And, once it is generated, insert the new content into the form for the question author to review.

Yeah, I've been thinking something along the same lines. For example, a plugin for the edit questions view in questionbank ("With selected... bulk edit with GenAI"), which would create new versions of the questions, perhaps in a sub-category?

Examples would be what Tim wrote above, and additionally:

* "Make small variations of the selected questions, while still measuring the same knowledge."
* "Make one of the false alternatives in the multiple choice question a bit closer to the correct answer, so that the student cannot guess the right answer as easily."

Or even:

* Look at the question statistics, pick 10 questions that have the best discriminative efficiency, and create slight variations of those questions.

I've used similar prompts with GenAI in the past, and it's a great help in question creation.

While I also like the idea of having an "assistant" in the quiz edit view, thinking of how the UH teachers work, I think the bulk edit UI would be even more useful.
