5. Example: using the UI Perplexity tool in the context of formative and summative evaluation
The instructor wants to prepare questions for the summative exam in the field of "Sustainable Development". The goal is to ensure that the questions cover current and relevant content, without taking too much time to prepare.
Start Perplexity and type the query:
"Write 5 multiple-choice questions about sustainable development with correct answers and a short explanation."
Perplexity automatically generates:
What is the goal of sustainable development?
a) Faster economic growth
b) Preserving resources for future generations (correct answer)
c) Increasing energy consumption
d) Maximising food production
Explanation: Sustainable development focuses on a balance between economic development, the environment, and society.
2–5. (additional similar questions, with answers and explanations)
The instructor then uses these questions to create exams and can adapt them to the knowledge level of the students or use them for formative quizzes during class.
What does this mean for the instructor?
- Fast creation of quality questions
- Up-to-date and accurate content with the help of artificial intelligence
- Ability to adapt to the level and needs of the participants.
