How do I use copyrighted books vs public‑domain texts when generating questions?
Use public‑domain texts or books you have explicit permission to process for full‑book generation. For copyrighted works, generate questions from short excerpts you are licensed to use or upload instructor‑provided galleys. Enable the citation guardrail to flag passages that may require permission, and produce educator‑only leader versions if you wish to avoid public redistribution.
Can I create grade‑level appropriate questions and adjust difficulty automatically?
Yes. Select a grade level or learner band when you run a prompt and the templates will adjust vocabulary, sentence length, and cognitive demand. Use the 'differentiated instruction pack' template to produce remedial, standard, and advanced versions of the same assessment.
Which source file types and metadata produce the most accurate chapter/page references?
EPUB and PDF uploads that include a table of contents or embedded page numbers yield the most precise chapter and page references. If you can provide a chapter mapping file or TOC, the system will use it to attach 'Chapter {n}, p.{page}' references. Plain text works, but you'll need to supply chapter markers.
How do I export question sets to LMS or printable worksheets? What formats are supported?
Export options include CSV formatted for LMS imports, structured JSON for programmatic use, and printable PDF layouts (two‑column worksheet). Each export includes metadata fields for id, type, question, choices, correct_choice, explanation, and source_reference to simplify import and printing.
How does the tool preserve source attribution and include citations in generated questions?
When source metadata is available, generated items include a source_reference field with chapter and page or paragraph markers. The citation‑aware mode preserves user‑supplied source notes and flags items where page data is missing or uncertain.
Can I produce answer keys and rubrics alongside question sets?
Yes. Every assessment export can include a parallel answer key, short model answers for short‑answer items, and suggested point values or rubric notes for essay prompts. Rubric guidance is provided as editable text to align with your grading scale.
What guardrails exist to avoid generating spoilers for book club use?
Use the spoiler filter when generating discussion packs to create two versions: a leader version with deeper spoilers and a participant version with spoiler‑safe prompts. You can also tag prompts by intensity (introductory, deep dive, controversial) and exclude plot‑revealing items from participant exports.
How do I batch‑generate questions for multi‑chapter or full‑book coverage?
Upload the full text or provide chapter boundaries, choose a prompt cluster (e.g., chapter quiz generator), and run a batch job that iterates the prompt across chapters. Exports will include chapter identifiers and sequence numbers so you can map items to reading schedules or syllabus dates.
Are there best practices for converting teacher notes or summaries into assessment items?
Start by attaching teacher notes as a companion file and use the 'assessment conversion' template to convert highlights into MCQs, short answers, and essay prompts. Provide explicit mapping (which note -> chapter or page) and use the review checklist to validate accuracy and alignment to standards.
What steps should I follow to review and edit generated questions for accuracy and alignment to learning objectives?
Open the generated set, verify source references against the original text, check distractors for plausibility, confirm expected answer lengths, and adapt rubric point values. Use the included teacher review checklist and export a draft printable for a quick in‑class pilot before final distribution.
