Using SLS Authoring Co-Pilot and DeepSeek AI to Generate Quizzes: Enhancing Blended Learning Experiences
Date: January 13, 2025, Time: 1500-1530
Team Meet.
The Cross Level Deployment Course (CLDC) 2025 workshop provided a timely opportunity to showcase the innovative use of SLS Authoring Co-Pilot (ACP) and DeepSeek AI to streamline the creation of quizzes for hybrid and blended learning. These tools not only support educators in developing engaging content but also save valuable time for teachers who are balancing diverse responsibilities.
Workshop Highlights
During the afternoon segment, led by Nigel Koh and Lawrence Wee, participants were introduced to practical demonstrations of ACP’s capabilities. The session focused on generating quizzes quickly and efficiently while maintaining high standards of pedagogical integrity. This blog captures key insights from the session and outlines how these tools transform quiz generation into a seamless process.
SLS Authoring Co-Pilot (ACP)
ACP simplifies the process of creating and updating Student Learning Space (SLS) modules. Using ACP, teachers can:
-
Generate Quizzes Automatically: Upload content or select from pre-existing resources, and ACP suggests quiz questions aligned with the learning objectives.
-
Refine Content Dynamically: With its intuitive interface, teachers can edit quiz questions on the fly to ensure relevance and appropriateness for their students.
-
Populate Content Automatically: Automatically populate content for quizzes by leveraging pre-existing resources, eliminating the need for manual copy-pasting and saving significant time for educators.
For a comprehensive step-by-step guide, the video "Refreshing SLS Modules with Authoring Co-Pilot" by Lawrence Wee was a key resource shared during the workshop.
DeepSeek AI
DeepSeek AI complements ACP by leveraging advanced artificial intelligence to:
-
Analyze Text and Extract Key Points: Teachers can upload lesson materials, and DeepSeek AI identifies critical concepts to craft relevant quiz questions.
-
Generate Multi-Modal Questions: DeepSeek AI can populate SLS modules automatically with diverse question types, including short answer, drag-and-drop, and matching exercises, using curated content from lesson materials and educational resources.
-
Ensure Alignment with Curricular Goals: The AI incorporates MOE’s educational frameworks to ensure that generated questions align with syllabus requirements.
Key Takeaways from the Session
-
Time-Saving Efficiency: Teachers appreciated the tools’ ability to reduce manual effort in creating quizzes, freeing up time for other instructional tasks.
-
Collaborative Features: ACP and DeepSeek AI encourage collaboration, allowing teachers to co-develop quizzes and share resources effortlessly.
-
Student-Centric Focus: The tools enable the creation of quizzes tailored to student needs, fostering engagement and deeper learning.
-
Future-Proofing Assessments: The integration of AI ensures that content remains adaptable and scalable, supporting educators in navigating evolving digital learning landscapes.
Feedback and Reflections
The session concluded with an engaging Q&A, where one participant asked about explored advanced functionalities and discussed other entry point of ACP: I believe the participants could be thinking about this.
-
“The combination of ACP and DeepSeek AI is a game-changer. It’s like having a virtual assistant for curriculum design.”
-
“These tools make it possible to focus more on teaching and less on designing tasks. I can now spend more time engaging with students.”
Looking Ahead
The integration of tools like SLS Authoring Co-Pilot and DeepSeek AI marks a significant step forward in digital pedagogy. As educators continue to embrace blended learning, such innovations will play a pivotal role in shaping meaningful and impactful learning experiences.
