Generate Moodle questions automatically from text

This plugin allows a user to submit a paragraph of text and automatically generate Moodle questions based on the text, using OpenAI's GPT API. This is an experimental plugin that is intended more for generating test data for a course; however, if teachers do use it for real-world use, I would be very interested in hearing about it.

To get started, create an OpenAI API account here. This plugin requries a commercial subscription via a paid OpenAI account. For more information on purchasing a subscription, please see the aforementioned link. Once a paid account is created, all you need to do is add the API key to the plugin settings.

• Supports multiple question types; choose between creating True/False, Short Answer, and Multiple Choice questions
• Specify number of questions to generate from the text NOTE: Because of how GPT works, it often doesn't generate the exact number of questions that is requested. Think of this field as more of a suggestion.
• Review and edit questions before adding them to the question bank

How to use

• Add API key to plugin settings
  
• In a given course, add the "Open AI Questions" block to the course
• Click the link in the block to generate questions
• Paste in the source text in the textbox, select the question type, and how many questions you want to generate
• Once the questions are generated, you can edit the questions and answers before saving, and -- for multiple choice questions -- select which answer should be marked as correct

Questions are always added to the default category in the course at the moment. If no default category exists, they are added to the top category.
