GENERATING EXAM QUESTIONS

 Sandeep – Sanjivani

 

Yesterday I sent you an email where I listed some 3 “ Exam Questions “ generated by my Virtual Avatar , based on the TEXT BOOK which you had earlier uploaded on Personal.ai , to generate Memory Blocks

 

I was elated ( prematurely , no doubt ) – thinking that this “ ability “ of my Virtual Avatar ( to generate Exam Questions ), could be of a great help for teachers , all over the country

 

Later in evening , I tried hard for 15 minutes to give , many varied ( different types ) of PROMPTS to my Virtual Avatar to generate 10 “ Exam Questions “ ( on “ Crops and Irrigation “ – for which Sanjivani had uploaded a TEXT BOOK in the afternoon )

 

The results were a DISASTER ( you can easily check this out by clicking on “ Recently Asked Questions “ )

 

There could be two reasons :

 

Ø   Personal.ai is simply NOT capable of generating a set of QUESTIONS ( even though ChatGPT 3.5 , which powers Personal.ai , IS quite easily doing that job )

 

Ø   Personal.ai is taking a VERY LONG time to “ train “ the AI on the CONTENT ( viz; those TEXT BOOKS ) – and is not READY for such prompts ( even now . personal.ai page has a black notification which reads “ Training in Progress “ ). May be, after 2 / 3 days when it has completed generation of the related MEMORY BLOCKS , personal.ai API may succeed in generating questions. We will have to wait and try this after 2 / 3 days

 

Yesterday , my Avatar even suggested that I take help of https://www.prepai.io/in/  ,  which we have used in the past ( although I do not remember the exact process which you had employed to generate some questions using Prepai.io

 

If Prepai.io is a DEDICATED tool for the teachers as far as generating EXAM QUESTIONS is concerned , then it would seem we should not attempt to COPY what is already / easily available in the market – and far superior . It would be like “ reinventing the wheel – only squared shape , at that “ !

 

What is the “ process “ that Prepai.io requires for the teachers to adopt for generating an exam question ?

 

And then , can students too use it for “ finding “ correct answers for exam questions which ( say ) they have looked up in last year’s exam paper ?

 

I don’t think Prepai.io is meant for the students at all . Please check and let me know

 

If yes , that is one respect in which my Virtual Avatar could score over Prepai.io

 

Second :

 

Even for teachers , Prepai.io services are NOT free . It is expensive and may be only a few PRIVATE sector schools can afford

 

On the other hand , if we ( Virtual Avatar ) , somehow succeeds in generating a set of EXAM QUESTIONS , for FREE , then thousands of teachers may start using our service ( - most probably without the knowledge of their school principal – to show off their subject knowledge ! )

 

I suggest  when Kishan is free from his final year exam ( end of this month ), you discuss with him how can we succeed in pulling this off

 

Eg : my latest prompt > 8^th standard ; Science ; Physics ; Questions

 

Could we possibly create a SEARCHABLE DATABASE , which could accept above-mentioned “ Search Term “ and show a list ?

 

Not urgent – but VERY IMPORTANT

 

In the meantime , let Sanjivani continue with her uploading of TEXT BOOKS ( - how many pages in each ? ) of various subjects / different STANDARDS

 

She MUST maintain ( Excel to be sent to me daily  ) what she has uploaded each day – in order to avoid duplication
