Formative offers the ability to generate multiple types of activities with AI. This can be very helpful when creating assessments on the go, or when you might find yourself in need of inspiration for new content and questions you haven't used before.
To generate a full activity, navigate to your Home page and follow the steps below:
Click on the "Create +" button at the top right corner of your screen
Choose "Auto-Generate Activity" from the dropdown list
In the generation criteria form, begin by choosing the type of content you want to generate: Lesson, Quiz or Practice Set.
A Lesson will include multiple sections, each accompanied by both text passages and follow up questions, while Quiz will include only questions. A Practice Set will include flashcards.
If you selected Quiz or Lesson - proceed to enter a prompt (your desired topic) and the designated grade level
If you selected 'Practice Set' - proceed to enter a prompt
For Quizzes or Lessons - click on "Additional Settings" to define the level of difficulty, the length and the type of questions you want our AI to generate
(Note: currently the question types supported are Short Answer, Free Response, Numeric, True/False, Multiple Choice and Multiple Selection only)
If you'd like the AI to generate hints for the questions on your Lesson or Quiz as well, check mark the box "Hints"
Let AI know if you'd like any questions on your Lesson or Quiz to be aligned to standards by clicking on 'Search for a Standards' and selecting from the list
Click "Generate" at the bottom of the window, and give our AI the time it needs to generate your activity.
You can even watch as the AI builds your activity by clicking "View Activity" on the next window:
Once your activity has been generated, review and edit it to your liking. From Quizzes and Lessons you can remove/add questions and content items, edit questions and answer keys, and even edit the text passages generated. From Practice Sets you can edit, remove or add flashcards
