Using AI for Fill-in-the-Blank
1
Create or open a Fill-in-the-Blank activity
From your classroom dashboard, create a new Fill-in-the-Blank activity or open an existing one you want to edit.
2
Paste in your passage
Paste the text you want to turn into a cloze-style activity. This can be your own writing, a textbook excerpt, or any passage from your curriculum materials.
3
Click AI Suggest Blanks
Select the AI Suggest Blanks option. The AI will analyse your passage and return a list of suggested words to blank out.
4
Review suggested blanks with explanations
Each suggestion comes with an explanation of why that word was selected — for example, because it’s a key vocabulary term or a central fact in the passage. Read the explanations before deciding.
5
Accept or dismiss each suggestion
Accept the suggestions that make sense for your learning objectives and dismiss any that don’t fit. You’re not committed to the AI’s list.
6
Add answer variants and hints manually
For each accepted blank, add any acceptable answer variants (synonyms, spelling variants) and optionally attach a hint for students who get stuck.
How the AI selects blanks
The AI doesn’t blank out words at random. It targets:- Key concepts — terms or ideas that are central to understanding the passage.
- Vocabulary — subject-specific words that students should be able to recall and spell.
- Important facts — specific names, dates, or values that anchor the content.
Staying in control
AI suggestions are exactly that — suggestions. You make every final decision:- You decide which blanks go in. Accept only the suggestions that align with what you’re testing.
- You set answer variants and hint leniency. The AI does not configure marking rules. You define what counts as a correct answer and whether hints deduct points.
- AI provides suggestions, not final answers. The published activity reflects your choices, not the AI’s defaults.
