Tell me if this sounds familiar—it’s the week before finals. You still haven’t graded the test you gave last week, you’ve booked your mornings solid with extra tutoring sessions for your students, and you still need to find the time to actually write the final.
But if you went into teaching, it probably wasn’t because you had dreams of writing pages of multiple-choice questions on your nights and weekends. Fortunately, that’s where Khanmigo’s AI generators for teachers come in—with Khanmigo, you can instantly develop assessment questions at various depths of knowledge, to ensure your students have the study aids they need to be prepared and assessments that serve as genuine indicators of student learning.
In other words, Khanmigo takes the stress out of generating exam, quiz, and practice problems, so you can spend more time helping your students feel prepared for their final and less time stressing over writing good exam questions. The best part? It’s free for all teachers, thanks to support from Microsoft.
How to use AI to generate practice questions for students
Depending on the subject you teach, Khan Academy has always had excellent resources for your students to practice, but now using Khnamigo, you can generate additional questions for any resource (videos, articles, exercises) on the site and use them with your students.
Let’s say I assigned this Periodic Table video for my students to watch before class. I open Khanmigo on this video page, and Khanmigo asks me if I want help creating a lesson plan, explaining the video, or providing a warm-up activity. I can also ask Khanmigo to give me five questions to have my students complete during the first 10 minutes of class to assess their understanding of the video. I can ask Khanmigo to make these multiple-choice or free-response questions. I can also ask Khanmigo to generate an answer key I can then use to evaluate my students’ responses or show on my smartboard to walk through with my students.
How to use AI-powered problem generators for assessment
Making good quiz or test questions is extremely difficult and time-consuming. Don’t worry, Khanmigo is here to help. Let’s say you are an AP U.S. History teacher and just finished teaching Unit 5 that spans from 1844 to 1877. Khan Academy’s existing Unit 5 test is 10 multiple-choice questions, but what if you wanted a full-length summative assessment that covers this entire unit that includes both multiple-choice and free-response questions? You can simply open Khanmigo in any of the lessons from this unit and ask Khanmigo to give you a few multiple-choice questions on this topic, along with an answer key. You can also ask Khanmigo to give you some free-response questions, along with answers to these questions.
Each lesson in Khan Academy lists the standard at the top of the lesson; so, if you want Khanmigo to provide more specificity for these questions you can cut and paste these standards into the request you provide to Khanmigo. Using this technique, you can generate a quiz with an answer key in 2–3 minutes, or an entire unit test or semester exam in 10–15 minutes.
As an extra bonus, ask Khanmigo to generate more questions than you need and use these extra questions to create the review sheet on the topic. You now can provide this review sheet to your students to help them study for the quiz or exam.
How to use the free rubric generator and answer key creator
This is the easiest part. I mentioned this in each section above, but I think it is worth repeating. Whenever you use Khanmigo to help you generate more practice problems for your students or questions you plan to use on a quiz, exam, or review sheet, don’t forget to include a request for Khanmigo to generate an answer key. Khanmigo will always be happy to provide you the correct answer with an explanation for why the answer is correct.
Now you are saving time not just on creating these questions but in grading the response students provide to these questions or using these answers to help support your students’ learning in other ways.
