A case study of using ChatGPT for item banking
Like so many people nowadays, I was taking ChatGPT for a test-run - I wanted to see if it could help me build an item-bank. Please note that the examples given are quite simplistic, and are just meant to showcase the capabilities of AI generated content.
Item-banking is expensive. Costs of €7,000 per item is not unheard of. An exam could cost up to €500,000 to create, and if the content is leaked, new items have to be created.
I am a firm believer of Linear On the Fly Testing (LOFT), where each candidate gets a unique set of questions based on certain pre-defined criteria.This prevents both cheating and content theft. But this requires a larger item-bank since you want to ensure the randomness of the test.
Let's see if ChatGPT can help out with that:
First I asked the AI to generate 10 questions about the American Civil War
Then I asked if it could give me 4 alternatives for each question
And to make it easier on me as an author, I asked it to give me the correct alternatives
OK, so it works great for multiple choice questions, but I wanted to see if it was able to give me other question types as well
And how I should mark these
The next one I didn't expect it to handle. I was utterly flabbergasted by what I got.
And if AI could also help me organise the content by defining the correct Bloom's taxonomy.
I am completely at a loss of words. So I had to ask how I could create a time machine to go back in time and invest in this company.

1 年That’s indeed just amazing how great ChatGPT works. A friend of mine experimented with ChatGPT via asking it to write a novel, and you know the result was also pretty nice, not perfect but it is only a beginning. Since time traveling is not yet possible, you might want to consider the ways how you can leverage this ChatGPT in your business to bring it to the next level.
