  • 2/11 Developing Student AI Fluencies

    Developing Student AI Fluencies in your class: creating personas for tutoring or role play 
    February 11, 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 Three will demonstrate ways to prompt ChatGPT to pose Socratic questions, tutor a student through homework, and create role play scenarios, 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.
