Anatomy of an Intelligent Practice question

Both questions are generated from the same template.

Templates are frameworks for questions backed up by a computer programme allowing us to

generate many different questions automatically.

Let's analyse one in detail ….

109 |

109 Names

109 | 3 |

3 Objects

109 | 3 | 4 |

4 Banks

109 | 3 | 4 | 4 |

4 Verbs

109 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 8 | 8 | 8

8 Intervals for 3 periods

109 x 3 x 4 x 4 x 8 x 8 x 8 = 2 678 784

2 678 784 variations

All numbers are randomly generated!

Infinite variations

All three questions are generated from the same template.

Take a quick look at the first two again ….

Solutions form part of the template.

Let's analyse one in detail ….

We store the state of the random numbers

We can reproduce the exact question a learner saw

We determine the correct answers

Learners enter their answer and we check

Provide hints

Hints can lead to losing marks on the question or not

Provide step-by-step solution

Step 1 for this problem

Provide step-by-step solution

Step 2 for this problem

Provide step-by-step solution

Step 3 and 4 for this problem

We store prequisite knowledge and skills for each step

We even time how long each step takes learners

Targeted feedback
