Drafting Course Content with an LLM

The LDTI GenAI Tinker Sessions provide an opportunity for academic staff to try out different tools, experiment with their functionality, and think about how they could be used in day-to-day work. 
Tinker sessions are intended for academic staff and will include activities focused on teaching activities. 

Join LDTI for a discussion of, and hands on experimentation with, creating course content with large language models.

This session follows on from the March Tinker Session on Drafting a Course Plan with ChatGPT. You do not have to have attended the first session before participating in this session.

The March Tinker Session focused on creating a draft 12-week course plan. This next session will involve leveraging an LLM to translate basic course elements (such as weekly learning outcomes, a list of weekly topics, additional resources identified by the course coordinator) into content ready for inclusion in Canvas sites to support online and blended learning.

In the lead up to the session, LDTI will email all registrants with details of any supporting material that will be required. Given the hands-on nature of these sessions, recordings are not available. However, resources (e.g. example prompts etc.) are shared following each session.
