What is an AI question generator from text?
An AI question generator from text writes reading comprehension questions about a passage you give it. In Edform you paste the text, upload a PDF, Word or PowerPoint file, add photos of a book page, or paste a web page or YouTube link. The AI writes two or three questions at each of four levels: knowledge and understanding, application, analysis, and evaluation and creativity. Every question has a short sample answer, and for the first three levels the answers stick to what the text actually says. Add more questions, make them easier or harder, or split them into three difficulty levels in one click. Then edit them, download a Word file or print.

Questions teachers ask
Are the questions based on the text?
Yes. Questions and sample answers stick to what's actually in the text, without adding connections it doesn't make. Still, read them before class: the AI drafts, you decide.
Which thinking levels does it cover?
Four, from facts to opinion: knowledge and understanding, application, analysis, and evaluation and creativity. They follow the idea of Bloom's taxonomy, so students move from finding information to forming their own view.
Can I use a PDF, video or web page?
Yes. Paste the text, upload a PDF, Word or PowerPoint file or photos of the page, or paste a web or YouTube link. This tool needs a text to work from, not just a topic.
Can I add more questions?
Yes. Click "More tasks", make the questions easier or harder, or split them into three difficulty levels.
Can I print the questions?
Yes. Print them or save them as PDF, or download a Word file. The sample answers are your answer key; remove them from the students' copy in Word.
Is it free?
Yes. Create a free Edform teacher account to use it. There's no credit card and no paywall.
