AI Intermediate Prompt Writing Workshop

Date: Wed, Oct 23, 2024
Time: 02:00 PM - 03:30 PM

Prompt Writing is a skill that many faculty and students now seek to master. This hands-on session is aimed at faculty who have begun to explore prompt writing and wish to progress to a higher level. The prompt writing techniques that this session will cover are:

  • Create a basic prompt, then use the AI itself to refine and optimize the prompt to get better results with that AI
  • Create and refine prompts for/from images or other media
  • Create prompt templates for common tasks a faculty member might have
  • Create or modify prompt templates for student use with AI, including for advanced interactions between students and AI

This is a hands-on session, and we request that participants have an AI tool open in a browser or app on a mobile device to try out prompts.
