Abstract

BACKGROUND: Manually creating multiple-choice questions (MCQ) is inefficient. Automatic item generation (AIG) offers a scalable solution, with two main approaches: template-based and non-template-based (AI-driven). Template-based AIG ensures accuracy but requires significant expert input to develop templates. In contrast, AI-driven AIG can generate questions quickly but with inaccuracies. The Hybrid AIG combines the strengths of both methods. However, neither have MCQs been generated using the Hybrid AIG approach nor has any validity evidence been provided.
