Crafting Prompts as Teaching Tools
DATE: Apr 24, 12:00pm-1:15pm
FORMAT: Online via ZOOM
PRESENTERS:
Jennie Watson, PhD, EML
Erick Zelaya, CAFE
In this workshop, participants will learn how to craft effective prompts to maximize the potential of generative AI in educational settings. Since the quality of AI output depends on how we communicate with it, we will explore techniques for designing more effective prompts.
Participants will also gain insights into integrating prompts into pedagogy. Specifically, discussing how prompting can enhance student engagement, enrich content materials, foster critical thinking, and support personalized learning. Additionally, the workshop will touch on teaching students to use prompting ethically.
Enhancing Course Alignment with gAI
