In testing, automatic item generation (AIG) refers to the use of algorithms or AI to create test questions or items automatically. This process helps generate large pools of assessment items quickly and efficiently.
Before starting make sure there is a Context file available. A context file is a document that provides the essential information required for the items to be generated from.
For this example the Context files was a MS Word document about Hurricanes:
Hurricanes form through a combination of warm ocean water, atmospheric conditions, and wind patterns. Here's a breakdown of the process: Warm Ocean Water: Hurricanes start over tropical oceans where surface temperatures are at least 26.5°C (80°F). This warm water provides the energy for the storm by fueling evaporation, where warm, moist air rises from the ocean surface into the atmosphere. Low-Pressure System and Rising Air: As warm, moist air rises, it creates a low-pressure area below. Surrounding air rushes into this low-pressure zone to replace the rising air, which then heats up, rises, and cools, forming clouds. This cycle of rising warm air and inflowing air creates a cluster of thunderstorms, a key ingredient for hurricane formation. Rotation from the Earth's Spin: The Coriolis effect, caused by the Earth's rotation, forces the storm's wind to rotate. In the Northern Hemisphere, the rotation is counterclockwise, while in the Southern Hemisphere, it’s clockwise. This rotation is essential for giving the storm its circular, spiraling structure. Organized Structure and Wind Patterns: If conditions remain favorable (warm water, low wind shear, and consistent rotation), the storm system organizes itself further, developing a distinct eye (the calm center) and eyewall (the most intense part of the storm). As it gains structure, the storm can reach hurricane status when sustained winds exceed 74 mph. Energy and Intensification: As long as the storm stays over warm water, it can strengthen. However, it will weaken if it moves over land or colder water because these surfaces cut off the warm, moist air it needs for fuel In summary, hurricanes form through the combination of warm water, rising air, low pressure, and the Coriolis effect, creating an organized system that can intensify into a powerful storm. |
