Our AI assistant supports you in creating and adjusting widgets and questions faster. While the AI provides suggestions based on your input, you as an education professional remain the final responsible party. By using these AI functionalities, you confirm that you are familiar with these guidelines and accept responsibility for the verification and quality of the generated content.
AI can suggest ideas, rewrite and translate texts, generate questions, or convert existing content into a BookWidgets assignment. However, the final judgment remains with you: AI does not know your class, learning objectives, students, and context the way you do. You are therefore responsible for the lesson content that eventually reaches the student.
Therefore, always check whether the generated content:
Use AI as a starting point, not as an end point.
The more specific your question, the better the result. A targeted prompt ensures less redundant processing and therefore a lower cost.
Good example:
"Create 8 questions about photosynthesis for second-year secondary students. Use simple language, vary the question types, incorporate visual questions, and add a scoring rubric to open-ended questions."
Less good example:
"Make something about photosynthesis."
Where possible, include:
When you upload documents, teaching materials, or other content into BookWidgets to create content with AI, this data is not used to further train the AI model.
The content you upload remains within the BookWidgets environment and is only used to process your specific question or assignment. This keeps your teaching material, school context, and any widget content protected.
Nevertheless, it remains important to be mindful of what you upload:
Do not do:
"Create remediation for Emma Peeters from 3B. She has dyscalculia and scored 4/10 on the test about simplifying fractions."
Better:
"Create remediation for third-grade students who struggle with fractions and make mistakes especially when simplifying them."
AI can sound convincing, yet still make mistakes. Always check:
When you do not provide specific source material, extra verification is important. The AI then bases its answers on general knowledge rather than your own teaching material. Therefore, always thoroughly check AI-generated content before sharing it with students.
Do not just ask AI to “generate questions”, but also to think along didactically. You can, for example, ask to:
When AI has clearly contributed to creating teaching materials, be transparent about it within your school's agreements. For example, you can consistently add the AI summary to the Info tab in BookWidgets with the press of a button. It gives your fellow teachers insight into the approach of the widget and the AI actions taken.
Do not use the AI output when it:
Adjust the prompt, provide extra context, or refine the result yourself.
The use of AI involves costs. BookWidgets passes these AI costs on but simultaneously does everything possible to process AI questions efficiently. Nevertheless, as a teacher, you have a major influence on the final cost.
General rule: Use AI when it offers clear added value. The more targeted your input, the more efficiently the AI can work. This is better for the quality of the output, the cost price, and the time you yourself still need to check the result.
When you have large documents analyzed, the AI must process a lot of text. This can entail a high cost. It is therefore often better to offer only the relevant parts.
Work, for example, like this:
