15 Multiple-Choice Question Generation
Faculty Objective
- Quickly generate questions that can be used in a multiple choice quiz.
One of the most commonly used assessment tools is the multiple-choice question. While they can be time-consuming to create—especially when we’re focused on generating plausible “wrong” answers. Generative AI can assist instructors in generating all sorts of multiple-choice questions that allow them to consider content in a variety of ways.
Considerations
- Review any questions and answers that Generative AI creates for you to ensure that the questions are clearly formed and correctly answered.
- You may need to engage in a dialogue with Generative AI to make corrections to any errors you note
- Although multiple-choice quizzes are used for evaluation, they are not the most authentic way to test student ability to meeting learning outcomes. Consider only using multiple-choice questions to help assess student understanding of details but create more authentic evaluations for grading.
- Model Academic Integrity by including an acknowledgement of any use of generative AI that specifies how it was used.
- Please refer to cautions in the Introduction that apply to all activities using Generative AI.
Example Prompts
