Description

The exercise-generation tool maps its three difficulty levels directly onto Bloom's Taxonomy cognitive levels within the system prompt: easy prompts tasks focused on remembering and understanding, medium on applying and analyzing, and hard on evaluating and creating. The authors state this 'ensures that the task's complexity is grounded in established theory', aligning generated exercises with the pedagogical goal of challenging students across cognitive levels.
