Exploring Information-as-potentiality: Methods for Design and Evaluation (USE)
Location: Jefferson

This workshop is designed to enhance the knowledge and applications of ChatGPT in research, teaching, and service from a faculty perspective. We seek to offer direct application of best practices in two key areas of concern: 1) A prompt literacy to interact with ChatGPT in more sophisticated ways and 2) hand-on exercises to apply ChatGPT for practical tasks. In the prompt literacy session, we will provide foundational knowledge on prompting for more efficient usage of ChatGPT in research, teaching, and service by identifying specific prompt patterns and examples. The hand-on exercise will improve understanding of using ChatGPT in higher education contexts by providing opportunities to apply and utilize this tool in participants’ contexts.
