    Abstract: The present disclosure may include a method of providing context to a question. The method may include obtaining an annotated question that includes a question variable as part of the annotated question. The question variable may include an attribute defining an information category that correspond with the question variable. The method may also include receiving real-time student-specific data of social media data, data from a biological sensor connected to the student, or GPS location, parsing the student-specific data to determine a subset of the student-specific data that belongs to the information category that corresponds with the question variable, and retrieving a context value from the subset of the student-specific data. The method may also include automatically generating a finalized question by replacing the question variable in the annotated question with the context value. The method may be performed for multiple students such that each student has a different finalized question.
