  • 1/28 Developing Student AI Fluencies in Your Class

    Developing Student AI Fluencies in your class: prompt engineering 
    January 28, 5:30 – 6:30 PM 
    Presenter: Tina Huey, CETL-Faculty Development

    How should we engage students on the matter of generative AI and learning in our courses? Examples from Yee, Uttich, Main & Giltner’s AI Hacks for Educators will be shared, with an opportunity to practice with different generative AI tools. Session One will go over teaching the CAPTURE method for prompt engineering, with opportunities for hands-on practice. This session is suitable for participants with minimal experience using generative AI but will be most useful if you know how to access either Microsoft CoPilot through your UConn Microsoft 365 login, or ChatGPT (both the free “mini” and paid versions will be demonstrated).  

    Detection of AI use will not be the focus of these sessions, but we may discuss AI-resistant activities and assignments.  You are encouraged to contribute your questions, ideas, and experiences.
