Lumi is an AI tool in MyFIRE that allows instructors to create content for assignments, discussions, and quizzes. For quizzes, Lumi will generate questions based on course content or custom text. Multiple Choice, True or False, Written Response, Short Answer, and Multi-Select question types are all supported. When generating multiple questions, results may vary based on the amount of source material. This tutorial demonstrates how to generate quiz questions with the Lumi tool.

2.        Select Instructor Tools in the navigation bar.

3.        Select Course Admin.

4.        Select Quizzes.

6.        Select Generate Questions.

7.        A pop-up window will appear. Decide if you would like to generate quiz questions from course content, or if you would like to enter your own custom text. Questions will be based on the first 8,000 characters in the selected page; consider using the custom source text option for any remaining characters over the limit.

a.        If Course Content is selected, select Select Content.

                                                                                             i.         A pop-up window will appear. Locate and select the section of the course you would like the quiz questions to be generated from. Only one item from a module is able to be selected at a time. To generate multiple quiz questions based on multiple content items or modules, this process will need to be completed multiple times.

8.        Decide the number of questions you would like generated, 1 through 10.
