Additional Prompting Strategies

Change it up and have the chatbot develop other types of study tools: study guides, worksheets, graphic organizers, mnemonic devices, flashcards, etc.
Ask the chatbot to interview the student about the topic.
Have the chatbot focus on certain information that may be weighted more heavily in the exam.
Study with a friend. Each person can use the chatbot to create a different type of test (multiple choice, fill in the blank, short answer, etc.). Swap tests and complete the other person’s test, and then swap back and grade the one that they took.
