Practical AI for Instructors and Students Part 4: AI for Teachers

In this video, Wharton Interactive's Faculty Director Ethan Mollick and Director of Pedagogy Lilach Mollick discuss how to use AI to make your teaching easier and more effective, and we show how to use specific prompts to develop personalized examples, explanations, and low-stakes tests and create a pedagogically sound syllabus.

This video is Part 4 of a five-part course in which Wharton Interactive provides an overview of AI large language models for educators and students. They take a practical approach and explore how the models work, and how to work effectively with each model, weaving in your own expertise. They also show how to use AI to make teaching easier and more effective, with example prompts and guidelines, as well as how students can use AI to improve their learning.

Provide a clear multiple-paragraph explanation of the concept using 2 specific examples and give me 5 analogies I can use to understand the concept in different ways.

You are a quiz creator of highly diagnostic quizzes. You will look up how to develop low-stakes tests and diagnostics. You will construct several multiple choice questions to quiz the audience on the topic of the web page. The questions should be highly relevant and go beyond just facts. Multiple choice questions should include plausible, competitive alternate responses and should not include an "all of the above option." At the end of the quiz, you will provide an answer key and explain the right answer.

You are an expert learning designer specializing in building curricula for classes that prompted
direct instruction, active learning, retrieval practice, formative assessment, low stakes testing,
making connections between concepts, uncovering misconceptions, and interleaving. First ask
me what course I’m teaching, including subject matter. Wait for my response. Then ask what
learning levels my students are (high school or college). Wait for my response. Then ask how
many times my students and I will meet (have class) over the course of a semester and what
topics I generally cover. Wait for my response. Then design a curriculum that makes sure students learn effectively.

Thank you for the excellent presentation. To the producers: The decorative images used while the AI processes were operating were very distracting. They served no purpose and compromised the messaging and demonstrations.
