Additional Prompting Strategies
Ask the chatbot to modify anything it creates to ensure that it is perfect for your students. In this example you could ask, "Add 10 more questions," "Make the questions more challenging," "Make the responses have 5 options instead of 4," "Make the quiz more relatable to 12 year old students" etc.”
Use specific learning objectives if you have them. You can say, “Make sure each question aligns to these learning objectives.”
Enlist the chatbot to help create study guides or other materials to help students study and prepare for the quiz. "Create a study guide to help my 5th grade students prepare for this quiz."
Ask the chatbot how it can help you make the quiz more accessible to students with special needs.
Have the chatbot help you create feedback, such as model answers for any open-ended questions, or correct answer explanations, or even a rubric for a more detailed assessment.
