In this short video I will share the result of my chat with Perplexity about how teachers can make exams AI-proof for their students.
I will also explain that there are 2 features of Perplexity that I like, when I compare Perplexity AI with other chatbots such as:
* ChatGPT from OpenAI,
* Claude AI from Anthropic.

Transcript of this video
Before you start writing our prompt, please remember to include some important aspects of good prompting techniques such as:

  • Task,
  • Tone of Voice,
  • Your Role,
  • The Role of the Chatbot,
  • Format and
  • an Example.

If you like to learn more about how to write good prompts, please watch my entire video about Prompting techniques.

This is the prompt that I used:

  • Task: write a short letter to teachers in higher education with 5 recommendations to start re-thinking the design process for creating written exams.
  • The Role of the chatbot: you are a an educational expert in designing exams and examination in higher education with 10+years of experience.
  • My Role: I am a teacher in higher education with 15 years teaching experience with students.
  • Format: a letter to fellow teachers
  • Tone: formal
  • Example: As an example I could include documents from the exam committee with guidelines for good exams, but for now I leave it blank.

There are three aspects that I like about Perplexity:

  1. The first aspect of Perplexity that I like is that the results are in line with my expectations. This is important, because the chatbot can hallucinate and give me incorrect or imprecise answers. As I read the first two recommendations of Perplexity, I like the suggestion to use real-world scenarios that you used as an example in your lessons.
  2. The second aspect that I like about Perplexity are these options to search images or a video related to your topic.
  3. The third aspect that I like about Perplexity is that Perplexity gives me Related questions, so I can refrase my questions if i Like to, such as:
  • How can we incorporate technology to enhance the effectiveness of written exams
  • What are some innovative methods to assess critical thinking skills in exams
  • How can we ensure fairness and equity in the design of written exams
