How to Upload a File and Generate Questions with AI

You can upload your lecture slides or notes to let the AI Question Generator create relevant questions for polls, discussions, or assignments.

Step 1 Inside course settings, choose the 'Course Settings' option

Step 2 Click on 'My Materials'

Step 3 Upload as many materials as you'd like

Step 1 Navigate to 'New Activity'

Step 2 Click on Questions → 'Generate with AI'

Step 3 Choose the 'My Materials' option when generating content

Step 4 Continue the content generation

→ What if my slides include handwriting or images instead of text?

The AI works best with clear, typed text. Handwritten notes or scanned images may produce inaccurate or irrelevant questions.

→ Can I upload multiple files at once?

Yes. Upload as many materials as you'd like under My Materials in Course Settings.

→ Can I edit the questions after they're generated?

Yes. Review and edit any AI-generated question before adding it to an activity or publishing it to students.

→ What happens if my file is larger than 50MB?

The file won't upload. Break large presentations into smaller sections, each under 30MB, for the best results.

→ Can I generate questions from a file I uploaded previously?

Yes. Any file saved under My Materials stays available to select the next time you generate questions with AI.

→ Does the AI generate questions from an entire file, or just parts of it?

The AI reviews the full file you select, so keep uploads focused on the content you want questions to cover.
