Custom Chatbots for Learning
Most of us are already using generative AI by asking it to answer questions or generate specific products (text, images, etc.). What many haven’t (yet) experimented with is how to “flip the script” and prompt a large language model to start questioning and supporting US (and our students) in more creative ways!
Discover how to find and adapt existing (openly licensed) prompts that help inspire you to design and deploy your own custom chatbots in this hands-on workshop. Whether you want to create an interactive study partner for students, a virtual teaching assistant to handle common questions, or a specialized tutor for complex concepts, you'll learn practical skills to build (or have students build) educational chatbots from scratch, usually by a process of copy/paste/adapt/share —no coding required.
We'll deconstruct best practices in (open) prompt design, consider ethical and privacy considerations, and explore strategies for integrating chatbots into existing learning (and assessment) activities.
