This Moodle question type accepts free text which is then evaluated by a remote Large Language Model AI system such as ChatGPT. Each question can have its own feedback and grading prompts. For custom development and consultancy contact Moodle Partner Catalyst EU (https://www.catalyst-eu.net/).
It is being used with teachers in Universities around the world including in Germany, Japan, Isreal, and Turkey to my knowledge
It requires either a paid for ChatGPT api account which will give access to ChatGPT4 or other Large Language Model such as Ollama or https://groq.com. ct
Additional documentation can be found here https://github.com/marcusgreen/moodle-qtype_aitext/wiki
It requires the creation of a prompt to evaluate the text according to its purpose and an optional marking scheme. For example for a question
"Write an English sentence in the past tense"
The prompt could be
"Explain if there is anything wrong with the Grammar in this text."
An example mark scheme could be
Give 10 marks if there are no errors and all spelling is correct and it is in the past tense. Give 0 marks if the grammar is incorrect. Deduct one mark, every word where the spelling is incorrect"
There is a prompttester field in the quesition editing form which uses ajax to test out prompts without needing to go through the quesiton preview screen.
HTML tags are stripped out from the text submitted to the AI System so evaluation cannot consider HTML formatting.
Mobile app compatibility
Cron based evaluation. Allow for slow LLM systems by marking on a cron timer
If you are a Moodle developer and you use vscode/vscodium you should consider this plugin https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=LMSCloud.mdlcode. It it very reasonably priced and will quickly save you time and frustration. It is the best Moodle development tool I have come accross in 20 years.
This plugin uses a thirdparty library "jsdiff" (https://www.npmjs.com/package/diff) to display differences between the user's input and the corrected version provided by the AI tool. It's already packaged up, so you do not need to anything usually.
General moodle plugin development rules apply.
Besides that:
The "jsdiff" dependency is being declared as npm dependency in package.json, but is already deployed into the plugin's amd/src and - by running grunt - into the amd/build directory.
If you want or have to update the dependency, you will have to run npm install followed by npm run deployJsDiff to deploy the new version to the moodle plugin.
