Formative offers the ability to generate text passages with AI. This can be a great time saving tool when in need of quickly creating content summary for your students or content for the students to be tested on.
To generate a passage with AI:
From within your formative click on the blue + button to open the 'Add Item' window
Click into the 'Create with AI' tab
You can also click directly on the "Auto-generate" tile on your formative's edit tab
2. In the item generation window select 'Text Passage from the dropdown under "Question or Content type' and choose
3. Continue to adjust the Grade and Subject fields (multiple selections allowed)
4. Select your preferred genre from the dropdown
5. Define a minimum and/or maximum word count
6. Select the language you would want our AI to generate the text passage in (at this time the available languages are: English, French, German and Spanish)
7. Enter your prompt (Tips to maximize text quality are listed next to the fields)
8. Click "Generate" at the bottom right corner and our AI will start processing the request
9. Once ready, the AI generatd Text Passage will appear to the right of the criteria fields
10. Review the Text Passage and make any edits necessary before adding it to your formative. (Tip: Use the menu above the Text Passage to style the passage)
Forgot to edit something? Don't worry! You will be able to continue editing the Text Passage after you add it to the formative as well!
11. If the Text Passage generated does not meet your needs, click on "Regenerate" and our AI will generate a new one for you
12. Once you're satisfied with the text passage, click "Add" at the bottom right corner of the window
13. As the newly created Text Passage is added to your formative, you will be able to continue editing the passage if needed, as well as enhance the Text Passage with questions on the right panel (you can even generate the questions with AI!)
Pro Tip: If choosing "Auto Generate" to generate a question, you can copy/paste parts from the Text Passage itself into the prompt, and the question generated will be directly related to it!
