AI Learning Community: Teaching with Custom AI Chatbots

Event Description

With generative AI making its way into all manner of domains, educators have a role to play in teaching students how to use AI effectively and ethically, as well as when to avoid using it altogether. One way we can exercise some agency in this work is to make use of custom AI chatbots. By designing interactive AI agents that fit our teaching goals, might we be in a better position to help students learn with and about AI?

This learning community is for instructors interested in experimenting with custom AI chatbots in their teaching. We will look at tools for building chatbots, from ChatGPT’s “GPTs” and Gemini’s “Gems” to education-focused platforms like BoodleBox and Cogniti. We will also explore use cases for custom chatbots in teaching and learning along with promising practices for using custom chatbots to support student learning.
