Co-constructing data by human and Generative AI

Reading is the basis for most learning. One way to help students enhance reading abilities is to have them go through reading comprehension exercises with questions, answers. In the past several decades, a number of systems have been constructed to automate these questions, answers and assessments for students. The bottleneck is in the creation of higher order thinking questions as described in PIRLS reading assessment framework including inference, interpretation, integrating ideas and evaluation. It takes a lot of good effort from humans to create high order thinking creations. With GenAI, humans can potentially collaborate with these new tools to create questions and answers faster and with better quality. In this keynote, I will first give an overview on the kinds of data contained in reading-related database(s), the challenges faced by the data creator before GenAI. I will then share our experience on how we now collaborate with GenAI in creating the questions and answers. Our pilot study indicated that GenAI now can actually create higher order thinking questions almost as good as humans. Implication of this talk is that various forms of data may be created at an enhanced speed and a higher quality with a GenAI.
