Anyone Tried AutoGEN with Factile? Game-Changing for Class Reviews!

Hey fellow educators and ed-tech enthusiasts! :waving_hand:

I wanted to share something exciting that’s totally changed the way I run review sessions in my classroom: AutoGEN + Factile!

What’s AutoGEN?
AutoGEN (short for Automated Question Generator) is an AI-based tool that can generate quiz questions from any content—textbooks, lecture notes, PDFs, even webpages. You input your material, and it spits out multiple-choice, true/false, or short-answer questions in seconds. Think ChatGPT, but for quizzes.

Why Combine AutoGEN with Factile?
If you’re using Factile – the Jeopardy game maker for your classroom, you already know how powerful and engaging it is. But pairing it with AutoGEN makes game creation lightning fast:

:white_check_mark: Boom :collision:—instant review game that feels customized but takes minutes to build

How I Use It (Real Example)
I had to prep my 7th graders for a unit test on ecosystems. Normally I’d spend an hour building review questions. This time I:

  1. Copied two pages from our textbook into AutoGEN
  2. Got 15 solid questions in less than 60 seconds
  3. Imported them into my Factile game board (5 categories, 3 questions each)
  4. Launched a review session in class—with buzzers and all

Kids LOVED it. Participation was off the charts. One even said, “Can we do this every Friday?”

Bonus Tips:

  • Use AutoGEN to differentiate: You can generate simpler or more complex questions depending on your group.
  • Factile has remote play mode—great for hybrid or flipped classrooms.
  • If you’re tight on time, use AutoGEN + Factile to create quick exit ticket games too.

Would love to know how you’re using AI + Factile to streamline your planning or boost student engagement. Or if you’ve got AutoGEN alternatives you recommend!
