Creating tasks in Examodo with the help of AI.

Creating tasks is the most important part of the testing platform. When creating tasks, you have 37 interaction types at your disposal. These include textual, graphical, file-based, and interaction types integrated with other systems. You can see our sample tasks to explore the wide range of interaction types. When creating tasks, you can combine different types of interactions in a single task.

To create tasks, you must have a teacher role. To obtain this, the “Test Conductor” service package is required, which can be tried for free for 10 days with full access.

In the Examodo platform, AI can also be used to create tasks. By clicking the "Generate with artificial intelligence" button, you will see an option to enter a task-creation prompt. Before entering the prompt, you must select the task type. Currently, in Examodo, AI can be used to create the following types of tasks:
 
Select the option to view detailed information and the video tutorial.

Multiple choice question

For a multiple-choice question, the respondent is presented with a question and answer options, from which they must select either one (radio buttons) or multiple (checkboxes).

The number of choices allowed is determined by the task creator. If the number of options is 1, radio buttons are shown to the respondent. For checkboxes, it is possible to set a maximum number of allowed selections. If the maximum number of selections is reached, an appropriate message will be displayed to the solver.

The task creator can also decide whether the answer options are always displayed in the same order or if a new order is generated each time the task is opened.

Matching task

In the matching task, there are two sets of options. The solver is presented with two sets side by side, with options listed vertically in each.

The solver must create pairs where one member comes from one set and the other from the other set. To create a pair (provide an answer), the solver must drag an option from one set onto the corresponding option in the other set. When the first option is dragged over an option in the other set and positioned correctly to form a pair, the option in the second set will gain a blue background. If the background of the option in the second set does not change, the first option is not in the correct position and should be dragged further until the element in the second set is recognized and its background changes. A line between the two options indicates a formed pair. To cancel a selection, click on the line connecting the pair with the mouse.

The task creator can set how many pairs the solver can create.

Ordering

In an ordering task, the task creator inputs the options, and the solver must arrange them in the correct order.

Entering options works similarly to the multiple-choice question type. It is also possible to use rich text and add images as options. The task creator selects, using a radio button, whether the options are displayed side by side or one below the other. By default, the options appear in the order they were entered. If the "Shuffle choices" checkbox is selected, the options are randomized each time the task is displayed.

The solver can arrange the options by dragging them with the mouse.

To calculate the score, there are four different algorithms, from which the task creator must select the appropriate one.
Options:

  • The entire sequence correctly
  • Pair correct next to each other
  • Pair in the right sequence
  • In sequential order

Short response question

For a short-answer question, the solver is presented with a single input field. The task creator enters the question (which appears before the input field for the solver) and can optionally specify constraints for the input value, such as the length of the response or a hint. The solver sees the question and the input field.

Expected response type could be textual (text + numbers) or purely numerical (integer or real number).

More complex task with a stimulus and an image

You can add multiple content blocks to a task. In addition to the four task types, you can also create stimulus and image content blocks. An image can be displayed separately or added within the stimulus or the task itself.

The stimulus content block is designed for adding the descriptive part of a task (longer explanation or introduction, illustrations). By default, the basic fields required for task entry are displayed. Additional options will appear when clicking the 'More data' link. The additional options selected by the task creator will remain visible in the task entry view after saving.

It is possible to enter rich text. In editing mode, a text editor is displayed with icons at the top for commonly used formatting options, such as bold text, italics, various font styles and sizes, tables, images, etc.

The picture content block contains one or more image files. Images can be displayed as a separate content block, and in this case, you can also define the display size. The image can be referenced in other content blocks within the same task anywhere rich text input is possible. More details on adding images can be found here.
