Just tried Starquiz, an AI tool for generating reading comprehension question sets from a passage. There are several other similar tools (e.g., Conker.ai; Quillions, Diffit) but this one also functions like a learning management system. You can create a class, then upload a reading passage for it to generate a reading comprehension question set, and then assign it to students using a URL. When students have answered the quiz (they need to sign up as a student first), you can see their scores.
Other features:
- Each question set can contain 3 types of questions.
- The question set can correspond with one level of Bloom's Taxonomy.
- You can even audio-record your (live) lesson and then let it generate a question set from it to use towards the end of the lesson.
The LMS feature reminds me of Formative, but Formative does not have AI functionality yet. (And Formative's free plan is quite mean.)
The best part is that the platform says it will remain forever free for individual teachers.
Will use this in the new semester in September a couple of times to see if the LMS part will also give me the total scores of the students. (Postscript: To me, the university's LMS, namely Blackboard, is so disappointing!)
