It’s no secret that the recent surge in popularity when it comes to generative A.I. has forever changed the way we approach content creation. Whether you’re a copywriter, graphic designer or music producer, the creative process will never be the same as it was before. But this also applies to us, at Drillster. Now, we’re bringing this innovation to our own platform with the introduction of our latest tool: the Drillster Question Crafter.
Drillster’s use of A.I.
Before we dive deeper into what the Question Crafter offers, let’s take a moment to look back. For example, did you know that Drillster has been harnessing didactic A.I. for over 12 years now? This, combined with proven elements from neuroscience, is what allows our unique Drillster algorithm to calculate each user’s personal forgetting curve and shortens the time it takes to master a learning subject by 40 to 50%. This ensures that each employee or student has the right knowledge, awareness and skills at the right time to perform at their best.
Even more impact in learning
Now, thanks to the Question Crafter, we are introducing the ability to create content directly in Drillster using generative AI. This allows high-quality content to be generated in 60 to 70% less time(!), which is an incredibly valuable addition to the Drillster platform. We’d like to emphasize that, even though the Question Crafter will drastically change and improve the way you can create content on our platform, it is still only a tool that helps you create the best possible Drill content. Users can therefore not expect the Question Crafter to do all the work for them by simply pushing a few buttons. The subject matter expert still has to take a critical and thorough look at it to make sure it meets all content quality requirements.
Question Crafter Do’s & Don’ts
To help you get started and be fully prepared as soon as you get your hands on the Question Crafter, we thought it would be helpful to provide some Do’s & Don’ts when it comes to using the tool. This way, you should hopefully be able to utilize it to its fullest potential and avoid beginner’s mistakes that will end up frustrating you.
DO’s
-
Chunk the learning material, before uploading it to the Question Crafter.
If you want to use a specific part of a document instead of a huge comprehensive document with dozens of topics, you can make it easier for the Question Crafter if you only upload the relevant pages. -
Leave out information that is not relevant for your drill.
Are there multiple topics in a certain document, but you only want to generate a drill on a specific topic? Then either omit this information from the uploaded file or indicate it in the Settings section of the Question Crafter. -
Specify which target group the drill is created for.
Generate content for a specific target audience by indicating the language level, average age, position, work experience, and whatever else is relevant for them.
DON’Ts
-
Get frustrated when generating the content takes a couple of minutes.
Keep in mind that waiting a few minutes for Question Crafter to generate content is still a huge time saver compared to manually creating the content. -
Stress out when you do not immediately get the desired quality of output.
The content can easily be re-generated. If you do not improve or modify the quality of the input, you will most likely get similar results. So try to analyze which improvements you want to see, change the input and try again.
9 reasons why you should use the Question Crafter
Some of you, due to the explosive growth of generative A.I. in recent years, might ask yourselves:
"Why should I choose the Question Crafter when I can just use ChatGPT myself for free?"
There are, however, a lot of reasons for this but we’ve narrowed it down to the 9 biggest reasons why you should start using the Question Crafter:
- Only the Question Crafter takes the 10 Drill Design Principles into account when generating content. It uses a series of prompts, which is not the case when you use a default ChatGPT account.
- Other A.I. models often also cannot generate the complete package of learning objects, questions, equivalent questions, answers and positive and negative feedback in an accurate way, since it is not commonly known information exactly what a "drill" means. The Drillster Question Crafter of course has a very good notion of what a ‘“drill” means.
- As a content designer, it is often difficult to determine the key essentials (need-to-know) of a training topic, work instruction or protocol. The Question Crafter can help you analyse the source material and determine the key learning items of a training theme.
- Usage so far has shown that creating learning content with the Question Crafter can be done in 60 to 70% less time compared to manually creating content, which is obviously a huge benefit in and of itself.
- The Question Crafter makes it much easier to write content at a certain language level (e.g. very basic language for a target audience that is not native English speakers). This can prove to be very difficult for humans when creating drills manually but is much easier for A.I. models.
- The Question Crafter makes it much easier to edit questions, answer options or feedback, so to shorten or lengthen text, summarize, etc.
- The Question Crafter is often more creative than humans, especially when it comes to generating example situations, dilemmas or scenarios.
- The Question Crafter can generate many more question variants than a human, which also prevents the exact same questions from being repeated during a drill.
- When using the Question Crafter, the AI-created content is immediately uploaded to the Drillster authoring tool. This also saves time and money.
