Abstract

The current pandemic has led to the use of online teaching and calls for the introduction of innovative self-learning techniques. Since contacts with educators are limited, students are required to become more self-reliant, and this includes the use of a self-assessment quiz to provide a measure of the learning progress and discover the area for further study. In this project, we focus on adding a feature for a course instructor to generate, using AI techniques, various types of questions for self-assessment: the system uses various types of course-related material, including text chapters in PDF format. The system is designed to be guided by the instructor and would help students to educate themselves in a typical remote teaching/learning environment.
