Utility
Useful generators for all sorts of tasks
Project Planning
This generator will suggest a list of tasks to be undertaken in preparation for a forthcoming project or event, to help you plan the key tasks which need to be addressed and to suggest how to deal with areas of priority. The result will form a useful basis for ensuring that you are fully prepared for whatever circumstances may be on the cards. You may also find it useful in preparing a chronological (“GANTT”) chart. Keywords: Project; Planning; Event; Gantt; Tasks; Preparation;
1 step
Step by Step
Breaking a task down into discrete individual steps can help you or your learners to tackle a task in a logical way. This generator will try to help you work out the steps required for any task. Keywords: Steps; Instructions; Guide; Logical; Task; Rules;
1 step
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) used simply to be questions which were asked on a regular basis, and the relevant answers. It is now common for FAQs also to be questions which an organisation might expect to receive, to be posted with the answers online or elsewhere, in order to save time both for a potential customer and for the organisation, helping to avoid misunderstandings and spurious questions. Keywords: FAQ; frequently; Asked; Questions; Help; Guidance;

How to...
This is an extremely simple but very useful tool! Want to check up on a way to help learners demonstrate their grasp of a topic? Or find out the best way to use Bloom’s Taxonomy? Or brush up your whiteboard techniques? This is the generator for you! Simply tell TeacherMatic what you want help with, and up will come some useful assistance. Keywords: How; Process; Help; Guidance; Steps; Instructions;
1 step
Ask an Expert
Need some expert advice from a plumber, or a sociologist, or a chef, or a copywriter? TeacherMatic will try to help. The results may not give you the whole picture, but they should form a good starting point for your research. If you want to hear from a named individual (or group of individuals) you can use the "Ask Someone Famous" generator instead. Check with a real expert if any safety critical matters are involved. Keywords: Expert; Expertise; Technique; Specialist; Process; How; Steps;
1 step
Survey Creator
When you want to know what people think about a course, or about the lunches in the canteen, or where they would like to visit on an Arts trip or whether changing the length of the learning day is a good idea, a well-written survey is essential. This generator will give you the basis of a survey which you can then amend to meet your exact needs. Keywords: Survey; Response; Opinion; Ask; Answer; Question;
1 step
Likert Survey Creator
A likert survey has a specific format. Each question is phrased as a statement so that the response can be one of a range of values (usually from five to seven) registering the participant’s agreement or disagreement, often in the format “Strongly Agree” down to “Strongly Disagree” or something similar. This generator will create a survey based on Likert principles. Keywords: Survey; Likert; Agree; Disagree; Opinion; Range;
1 step
Summariser
It can be useful to be able to summarise or precis a piece of text. This may be in order to give learners a more concise instruction or source text to work on than the original example. It may also be helpful if you wish to check the accuracy of the source text, since in summarising it, TeacherMatic may find - and repeat - errors that you are not noticing in the source. Keywords: Summarise; Summary; Precis; Shorten; Simplify;
1 step
Analogy Maker
An analogy can be used to describe one thing by comparing it or likening it to another, often for the purpose of explanation or clarification. Analogies are usually based on similes. TeacherMatic’s Analogy Maker will help you find new ways to describe a concept. Keywords: Analogy; Concept; Simile; Metaphor; Explain; Explanation; Clarify; Clarification; Describe; Description.
1 step
Glossary
Whereas a dictionary will normally give a basic definition of a word (or sometimes a phrase), a glossary entry is more descriptive. It can be useful to ask learners to come up with their own glossary definitions for words and concepts related to a specific topic, but if you need a starting point, this generator will do the job for you. Keywords: Glossary; Words; Similar; Description; Describe; Explain; Dictionary; Thesaurus;
14 steps
Slideshow Outliner
This generator produces draft content for a slideshow presentation, including, for each slide, a title, relevant headlines (bullet points) and speaker notes. Where possible it will also recommend a relevant image for each slide. The resultant draft can then be manually copied and pasted into your preferred presentation application, such as PowerPoint. Keywords: Slideshow; Slides; PowerPoint;PPT; Speaker; Notes; Presentation;
15 steps
PowerPoint Presentation
This tool produces a draft PowerPoint presentation in PPTX file format, including some text for each slide and, where possible, can include images to support the text. Please note that this generator uses one generation for each slide produced. See also the Slideshow Generator, which produces draft text-only content for a slideshow presentation. Keywords: Slideshow; Slides; PowerPoint; PPT; Speaker; Notes; Presentation;
17 steps
Draft a speech
This generator will draft a short speech lasting up to about 6 or 7 minutes, or you can use the generated sections as the basis for a much longer presentation. The AI system currently limits the length of the speech to around 800 words - this will be increased in due course. Keywords: Speech, Talk, Presentation, Draft, Ideas, Stage, Microphone
1 step
Data set generator
Sometimes it is useful to have a set of random data in tabular form. You might need this for setting an exam question or testing a hypothesis or many other purposes. This generator creates a table of random items, using fabricated data. Keywords: Data; Random; Set; Table; Example; Sample;
1 step
Draft a funding bid
This generator will create an outline funding bid. It may sometimes produce a result which can be used as generated, or may be used as guidance to complete sections of a form for manual or online submission. Keywords: Funding; Bid; Funds; Grant; Foundation;
1 step
Context generator
See an idea, theory or concept within the framework of a specific topic. This can help to clarify concept or topic or both. For example, take a familiar saying like "All that glisters is not gold" and view it in the context of booking a holiday package. Keywords: Context; Understand; Explain; View; Circumstance;

Wondering how to inspire your learners about a subject they really have little interest in? Get some suggestions of activities which could be used to engage and inspire them. Keywords: Inspire; Inspiration; Ideas; Bored; Disinterested; Activities; Fun; Engage;

Job description
This generator will draft a job description which is more detailed that that from the Job Advert generator. You can base it on very limited information and let TeacherMatic draft a description, or you can more detailed background information if you wish. Keywords: Job; Employment; Staff; Advert; HR; Human Resources;
1 step
Job advert
This generator will draft a job advert. You can base the advert on very limited information and let TeacherMatic make recommendations, or you can more detailed background information if you wish. In order to avoid contravening any employment legislation, the draft will not include and age, ethnicity, disability or similar statements - if these are relevant they should be added manually. Keywords: Job; Employment; Staff; Advert; HR; Human Resources;
