Generative AI (GenAI) has the potential to assist learning in many practical ways. While the tools and our understanding of how to use them are constantly developing, it is already possible to utilize them in many ways, one of which is as a method of support and feedback. This can have various benefits for students and can be a valuable way to practice skills and review course content. There are also limitations to using these tools in this format. In this workshop, we will highlight the benefits, limitations, and possibilities for GenAI to act as a personalized tutor for your students. We will also focus on developing prompts that are effective, supportive, and won’t give away the answers!
Upon completion of this workshop, learners will be able to:
- Outline important elements in creating an effective tutoring prompt for GenAI.
- Draft prompts from which the efficacy of GenAI tutoring can be explored for your course content.
- Draft prompts for GenAI which students can use for extra study practice or formative assessment.
