Increasing Student Engagement with Prompting

Steps for Using AI Assistants to Generate Ideas for AI Integrated Instructional Activities

  1. Duplicate your Assistant
  2. Remove the existing prompt
  3. Start with a Prompt: Choose a prompt related to the area you want to address.
  4. Iterate and Refine: Build on AI responses with follow-up questions.
  • Focus on Action: Ask for practical, implementable strategies, connect them with the current instructional activities and assignments you have already planned.
  • Address Challenges: Provide detail context of the challenges you are facing with engagement and ask for creative solutions in the context of your course.
  • Promote Engagement: Ask for ways to integrate AI meaningfully. Provide context on how your course is structured (ex. modality, length, level, etc.)
  • Explore Perspectives: Ask the Assistant to diverse strategies and viewpoints. Provide context on your students, their background, level, and capabilities.
  • Provide Support: Inquire about resources and support mechanisms that can be embedded into your current teaching processes.
