External CVC@ONE: AI Literacy and Prompt Engineering
November 4 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Both faculty and students need a new digital literacy to apply the increased critical thinking needed in the internet age, and AI literacy is a critical new skill every teacher and graduate needs. The two largest complaints about AI responses are that they are either wrong or boring, but both are often the result of poor or bland prompting. AI prompts need to provide more human context and be more literal than the ones we tend to use with a search engine. Since AI uses natural human language, it also needs human-level communication precision.: asking your AI to slow down and think more carefully can greatly improve results! The features of better prompts– task, format, voice and context–are direct extensions of the critical writing and thinking skills we already teach and value. In this interactive workshop, participants will learn how to find the right AI tool for the task, while comparing and practicing with different AIs.
