In our Chat GPT Teaching Talks Series, faculty members discuss their strategies while teaching in this new educational landscape of Chat GPT or generative artificial intelligence that uses machine learning to generate human-like text in response to users’ prompts. Christine Denison, professor with the Ivy College of Business will present our third talk in this series:
In today’s technological landscape, students have access to powerful AI tools like ChatGPT, which can make cheating easier than ever. In this talk, we will address the issue of students using AI to gain an unfair advantage and discuss strategies for preventing this behavior, including alternatives to assignments that are vulnerable to ChatGPT-aided cheating. We will also explore techniques for detecting ChatGPT-aided cheating and discuss how to deal with problems as they arise.
In our Chat GPT Teaching Talks Series, faculty members discuss their strategies while teaching in this new educational landscape of Chat GPT or generative artificial intelligence that uses machine learning to generate human-like text in response to users’ prompts. Dr. Abram Anders, Associate Professor of English and Director of Communication Innovation will present the second in this series:
This workshop is designed to empower faculty with the knowledge and skills to harness the power of ChatGPT, a cutting-edge language generation model developed by OpenAI. We’ll start with a high-level overview of how ChatGPT works, its capabilities, and its limitations. Next, we’ll dive into real-world applications and use cases of ChatGPT in both industry and higher education contexts. The highlight of the workshop is a hands-on opportunity where participants will learn basic and advanced techniques for developing prompts and generating outputs using ChatGPT. Faculty will have the chance to experiment with these models and see firsthand how they can enhance their research or teaching. Lastly, we’ll explore the future of AI and writing and its potential implications in higher education. Join us and discover how ChatGPT can help you be a more productive researcher and teacher!
Dr. Anders has expertise in academic, business, and professional communication with applications for creative collaboration, learning design, innovation and entrepreneurship, and leadership. He is also currently developing an experimental undergraduate course, “ENGL 222X: Artificial Intelligence and Writing,” which is expected to be offered at Iowa State in fall 2023.
