Event Date & Time

Event Description

Online

This event is part of the 2024 Celebrate Learning Week, taking place from May 6–10, 2024.

How can generative AI help make your lesson materials more engaging? Instead of using GPT to generate lesson contents, this workshop will demonstrate the potential of using GPT to present your pre-written contents in a new way. Specifically, we will look at:

  1. How to transform the formats of the content? (E.g., turning a static Q&A sheet into a dialogue between virtual students)
  2. How to design and inject personas into the content? (E.g., persona attributes of the virtual students that can induce critical thinking)
  3. What are the benefits of the alternative presentation of contents?
  4. What to look out for when writing GPT prompts for content transformation?

This 1.5-hour workshop will cover some of the latest research in this area, hands-on collaborative activities, and group discussion to ideate how the concept can be applied for various disciplines and learning activities.

Facilitators:

  • Thitaree Tanprasert, PhD candidate, Department of Computer Science
  • Dongwook Yoon, Associate Professor, Department of Computer Science
