Introduction to Prompt Engineering for Information Literacy

Session Description

In this workshop participants will participate in discussions and activities in order to more effectively prompt generative AI tools, such as Chat-GPT, to acquire results that more accurately represent their desired outcomes. This workshop is focused on the use of generative AI in a flipped classroom approach. Participants will gain understanding of their research topics through the use of AI, and then utilizing library resources to fact check the content and improve and refine their research questions.

Objectives:
Learners will gain hands-on experience in crafting effective prompts for interacting with Generative Artificial Intelligence (GPT-3 or similar models)
Learners will understand the importance of prompt engineering in obtaining desired and meaningful responses.
Learners will validate the information they are provided by the Generative Artificial Intelligence by using Library resources
Learners will assess their findings and share their result.
