Prompts Guide — Smart Rules AI

Smart Rules AI lets you create individual Moodle activities from a prompt.

You write two things:

  • Admin setup (set once) — defines the general rules for how the AI should create activities.
  • Your prompt (write each time) — describes the specific activity you want.

Quick rules​

Include these in every prompt for better results:

  • Activity type — Quiz, H5P, Page, Book, Forum, Assignment, Glossary, etc.
  • Goal — what learners will practice or learn (measurable, not vague)
  • Audience — level, age, or role
  • Language
  • Exact quantities — number of questions or items when consistency matters
  • No external links — if everything must stay inside Moodle

Create a single activity​
