Pear Assessment offers multiple pre-populated AI prompts to streamline item creation. Clicking any of these prompts opens a side panel where you can input content and receive AI-generated results.

​
Generate Full Item

The Generate Full Item feature helps you create a complete question: including answer options and the correct response: using AI. This tool allows you to author one item at a time.
  1. In the item bank, select New Item.
  2. After selecting the item type, click Generate Full Item below the question box to open the side panel.
  3. In the side panel, fill in the following fields:
    • Question Context: Provide any relevant context for the question.
    • Standards (optional): Enter the standards you want the question to align with.
    • Depth of Knowledge (DOK) level: Select the appropriate DOK level for the question.
    • Difficulty Level: Choose the difficulty level for the question.
    Once you have entered the necessary details, click Generate.
  4. Review the AI-generated question, answer options, and correct answer. If everything looks good, click Add Item to populate the respective fields with the generated content.
If you have already entered text in the question body, it will be pre-populated in the input field when you open the side panel. You can also select Remember values for next time to retain your settings for future items.
