Enhance Student Learning with Personalized Support and Activities with Your Own Generative AI Course Assistant

Wednesday, August 20, 2025 12pm to 1pm

 

 Interested in trying out GenAI in your course to support student learning? This workshop is designed to help you create an AI assistant that is tailored to your course materials and learning objectives with the following features:

  • Personalized: A tailored AI chatbot assistant (looks like ChatGPT) that
    helps students based on your course materials and objectives
  • Trustworthy: The AI assistant provides source links to your course
    materials in each response and shows students where they can learn more
  • Controllable: Instructors control how the AI responds to students: e.g.,
    prevent it from giving away homework solutions, encourage critical thinking
  • Transparent: Instructors see every student conversation (anonymized)
    and a dashboard summarizing weekly usage and insights from all
    conversations (common questions, misconceptions, etc.)
  • Activities: Instructors can create any type of AI-led activity to encourage
    critical thinking: e.g., Reading Reflection, Debate, Role Play, Quiz Me,
  • Predict-Observe-Explain, Exam Tutoring, and more
  • Private: No course materials or student data are used to train AI model
