Course Overview
The release of Chat GPT in 2022 has tremendously revolutionised the education landscape in Singapore. Since then, many other types of generative AI tools have been introduced, increasing the range of applications of it. All these tools can be used to improve educator’s productivity, thereby enhancing teaching, and learning of students.
However, to effectively use these generative AI tools, educators would need skilfully craft out effective prompts to get their desired output from these tools.
In this comprehensive one-day workshop, educators will delve into the intricacies of ChatGPT and other generative AI platforms. Beyond mere prompt engineering, participants will gain hands-on experience tailored to the educational realm, ensuring they harness the full potential of AI to foster productivity, elevate teaching methodologies, and create student-centric learning tools. This course is designed with a dual focus: empowering educators and optimizing student learning outcomes.
After completion of the course, participants will:
- Gain an understanding of the different types of generative AI tools in the market and acquire the ability to evaluate and select the appropriate generative AI tools for specific tasks.
