Prompts Guide — Smart Rules AI

Smart Rules AI is used to create individual Moodle activities/resources from a prompt.

This guide is intentionally similar to the Course Creator AI prompts guide, but it only covers activity creation (not full courses).

Quick rules (better results)​

Include:

  • Activity type (Quiz, H5P (Question Set), Page, Book, Forum, Assignment, Glossary, etc.)
  • Goal (what learners will practice/learn)
  • Audience (level)
  • Language
  • Exact quantities (number of questions/items)
  • No external links (if everything must stay inside Moodle)

Create a single Moodle activity/resource​

Template (copy/paste)​

Create a Moodle {type} about "{topic}".

Language: {language}.
Audience: {level}.
Goal: {goal}.

Constraints:
- Must fit in {time}.
- Include exactly {N} items/questions.
- No external links.

Quality:
- Clear instructions.
- Brief feedback where relevant.

Example (conservative)​

Create a Moodle Quiz about "SQL JOINs".

Language: English.
Audience: beginners.
Goal: recognize when to use INNER vs LEFT JOIN.

Constraints:
- Include exactly 8 questions.
- Mix: multiple choice + true/false.
- Difficulty: easy to medium.
- No external links.
- Add brief feedback after each question.

Example (more complete, still conservative)​

Create an H5P (Question Set) about "SQL JOINs".

Language: English.
Audience: beginners.
Goal: choose the correct JOIN and understand the result set.

Constraints:
- Include exactly 12 questions.
- Use tiny tables inside the question text when helpful.
- Mix: 8 multiple choice, 2 true/false, 2 short open questions.
- Difficulty: medium.
- No external links.

Quality:
- Start with a short instruction screen.
- Feedback must explain why the selected JOIN changes the output.
