This video demonstrates how to use the AI-assisted generator during the item writing process, guiding you through selecting answers and distractors for AI-generated items in the Authoring Portal.
Start by selecting the item type and writing a question description. Then, click "Generate," and the AI will create options—up to 10 if needed. Initially, the AI provides 3 options, but you can reject them to generate more. Even if options are rejected, they remain accessible for review. The AI also suggests a correct answer, which you are free to modify before accepting the item. Once accepted, review the item using the wizard or form view, and finalize it by submitting.
