Gen AI in Teaching and Learning

In November 2022, OpenAI released ChatGPT, a powerful natural language processing model that uses a large language library comprised of data scraped from the internet and other sources to write answers to questions, summarize and translate text, and write code. While ChatGPT is currently available as a free service, its popularity has caused it to reach capacity at times, making it difficult to access.

Assessment Design in an Era of Generative AI

This resource provides some considerations and suggestions around designing assessments in response to the growing prevalence of artificial intelligence tools that can generate text, such as ChatGPT and Bing AI. There are also tools that can generate images, such as Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and DALL-E, but at the moment this resource is only focused on tools that generate text.

Academic Integrity at UBC

The Academic Integrity website provides useful information with regards to the use of Gen AI in teaching and learning. the FAQ section brings together important things to know about ChatGPT and generative artificial intelligence in the classroom for instructors and students at UBC: https://academicintegrity.ubc.ca/chatgpt-faq/

Prompt Pattern Techniques

When using Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT there are multiple ways that you can generate responses. When you pose a question or ask the Generative AI to do something, you are creating a prompt. Prompt patterns or the action of structuring a statement can give users more control over the output (there are obviously variations in the output itself), but there is consistency in the behaviour (the user’s intention). There are several different types of prompts and the number is growing the more people learn about how LLMs work.
