SmartEDU: A Platform for Generating Education-Support Materials

With technology taking a more prevalent role in our daily activities, new opportunities and challenges emerge. New technological tools have been successfully used in the educational context for some time now, facilitating teachers, educators, and trainers in the transmission of knowledge. However, there are still tasks that can take advantage of these developments, as is the case with the creation of multiple-choice questions and slide presentations. Artificial Intelligence, in general, and Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing, in particular, can be used to automatically generate initial versions of slide decks and of natural language questions. Instead of creating them from scratch, teachers and trainers will only have to perform minor editions, and save time for other tasks. This document presents the platform SmartEDU, which allows users to generate multiple-choice questions and drafts of slide presentations from any text.
