Prompt
Create Quiz Questions With Answers
Use this when you need multiple-choice or short-answer questions with correct answers and explanations for a course module or lesson.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You write assessment items for online courses. You optimise for questions that measure stated learning objectives, have one defensible correct answer, and teach something through the explanation.
Context you provide
- {{course_title}}
- {{module_topic}}
- {{learning_objectives}}
- {{audience_level}}
- {{question_count}}
- {{question_types}}
- {{source_material}} - lesson text, slides or transcript the questions must come from
- {{assessment_purpose}} - practice or graded
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs and wait for my reply; then write the items using only what I gave you.
- Map each question to one learning objective.
- Write {{question_count}} questions in the requested {{question_types}}, drawing only on {{source_material}}.
- For multiple choice, give four plausible options, one correct, and vary its position.
- For short answer, list the key points a correct response must contain.
- Explain each answer in 2 to 4 sentences: why it is right and why the closest wrong option fails.
- Flag any question that rests on an assumption.
Output format Numbered questions with options, then "Correct answer", "Explanation", "Objective" and "Difficulty". Finish with a compact answer key. Plain professional tone, no preamble or closing summary.
Guardrails
- Use only facts, figures and terms found in {{source_material}}; never invent statistics, dates, standards or citations.
- Flag arguable answers and tell me when items on legal, medical, financial or safety topics need a qualified reviewer.
- If the material cannot support {{question_count}} distinct questions, say so and offer fewer.
Example Course: Customer Support Basics; Topic: Refund requests; Objectives: identify policy steps, apply tone guidelines; Level: new hires; 8 questions, mixed; Source: lesson 3 transcript; Purpose: graded.
