AI-Powered quizzes in online learning: Exploring opportunities and challenges

Abstract

The advancement of technology and its utilization in the field of education has made tremendous impact in the way learning and assessment are carried out. This article attempts to explore the potential usage of artificial intelligence (AI) in the development of quizzes for online classrooms, examining both its benefits and challenges. The emergence of AI has acted as a catalyst in the creation of quizzes, presenting the potential for assessments that are more efficient and personalized. The benefits are manifold: AI-driven quizzes can adapt to the learners' levels of knowledge, offer immediate feedback, and optimize the difficulty of questions. This technological advancement allows educators to save time and resources while simultaneously enhancing the process of learning. In any situation, these benefits are accompanied by certain disadvantages. Ethical concerns, such as protection of data privacy and addressing algorithmic biases, necessitate a comprehensive examination. We consider the potential shortcomings and emphasize the significance of responsible implementation of AI in quiz development. This article underscores the importance of striking a balance between harnessing the potential of AI for quiz creation and mitigating its associated risks. By understanding and acknowledging the merits and demerits, we can wisely harness the power of AI to create quizzes that are more effective and learner-centric, while ensuring that the benefits are maximized and the potential challenges are minimized.
