As a way to mitigate cheating in assessment, the question bank became a form of self-penalisation for students who wanted to ask their peers for answers to questions rather than do the work themselves. There simply wasn’t much point in asking because they were working on a slightly different question, possibly with different parameters or variables, but ostensibly of the same difficulty level. The need for that however is over with the invention of gen-AI.
With gen-AI, a student is never going to spend any time asking their peers what the answers are. They will simply use the AI.
So, there is no point in creating question banks anymore!
Or is there?
