🔍 Experiment with AI + Quiz

• Experiment with AI (not graded, no submission):
  • Choose a topic relevant to your teaching or professional field.
  • Begin with this vague starting prompt (paste into Gemini):
    • “Write an overview of challenges in [your topic] and suggest some solutions.”
  • Copy and save the AI’s response.
  • Now, revise the prompt using at least three elements of the Six-Element Prompting Model (Role, Task, Context, Input Data, Output Format, Tone/Style).
    • Example improved prompt: “You are a university teaching center director preparing a faculty workshop on academic integrity in the age of AI. Create a one-page handout in bullet-point form that highlights three major challenges, gives examples from higher education, and lists specific recommendations for classroom practice. Write in a professional but accessible tone.”
  • Compare the two outputs side by side.

💬 Short Answer Prompts

Choose 3 of the 4 prompts below. Write your responses (a few paragraphs each) in a Google Doc and upload to your Module 2 folder.

• Prompt 1:
  • How is communicating with an AI system similar to, and different from, communicating with another person? What skills or strategies carry over, and what new ones are required?
• Prompt 2:
  • Think of a time when you or a colleague used a vague or confusing AI prompt. What was the result? How could that prompt be revised to avoid common pitfalls like ambiguity, lack of context, or poor output formatting?
• Prompt 3:
  • Effective prompting shapes not only the usefulness of AI output but also its ethical dimensions. How might careful prompt design help ensure transparency, fairness, or inclusivity in AI-generated responses? Provide an example.
• Prompt 4:
  • AI systems can mimic conversation, but they do not understand context or emotion the way humans do. Where do you think the limits of AI communication show up most clearly, and how should humans adapt their use of AI in those situations?
