You probably heard a lot from your professors who are concerned about you using AI technology. So, I decided to make this screen share to show you how to use AI in your class and provide some ideas on how to use it ethically in your university classes.
Before you consider using any AI for your class, whether it’s GPT chat, Bing, or even Grammarly or Google Translate, you need to check with your professors. While I allow the use of AI in most assignments, you must always declare what you have used and how you have used it to avoid plagiarism accusations.
Now, let’s talk about using GPT chat ethically. GPT chat is great at organizing information but terrible at research and nuance. It’s not suitable for math problems or instructional videos about recent historical events. However, it can be a valuable tool for organizing information in line with your assignment.
To use GPT chat ethically, it’s important to have your own account. This allows you to show your original work and demonstrate that you haven’t been cheating. Your teachers might want to see the original prompts you’ve used and the changes made by GPT chat.
Now, let’s dive into using GPT chat for an instructional video outline. Start by creating a specific prompt, such as ‘Can you make an outline for a short instructional video for a university class using one camera?’ Be sure to mention your topic, for example, ‘How to throw a curveball.’
Once you have the prompt, enter it into GPT chat and let it generate the outline. However, keep in mind that GPT chat might suggest using a baseball field or specific visual aids. You’ll need to review and modify the outline to fit your specific requirements.
The generated outline will include sections like attention getter, background information, getting started, step by step, conclusion, and additional resources. Make sure to include a declaration of AI use to avoid plagiarism accusations.
Remember, prompt engineering is crucial to get the desired results from GPT chat. You might need to refine and adjust your prompts to get the best outline.
Once you have your outline, you can submit it to the discussion board to share it with your classmates. This allows for collaboration and the opportunity to learn from each other’s ideas.
In conclusion, using AI ethically in university classes requires transparency, proper declaration, and careful consideration of the limitations and strengths of AI tools like GPT chat. By following these guidelines, you can leverage AI technology to enhance your learning experience while avoiding plagiarism and ethical concerns.
