AI in Your Toolkit: Exploring AI as Tutor
In this session, the fourth in the Library's AI in Your Toolkit series, we will present strategies and tools for effectively using AI as a tutor. We envision the session as being useful for students, staff, and faculty who want to use AI as a tool for enhancing their understanding of topics that are relevant to their training or work. The session will include several hands-on components, allowing attendees an opportunity to actively practice crafting effective prompts in a variety of tools. We will cover chatbot tools such as ChatGPT and Gemini, as well as NotebookLM, a powerful tool that can be used to generate learning material.
