Workshops

This four-hour workshop provides a comprehensive overview of how generative AI supports teaching, research, and everyday academic work. The session begins with recent evidence on AI's impact on education and the job market, demonstrating how today's models have developed new capabilities. Rather than treating AI as simply a text generator, the workshop frames it as a flexible tool that can support diverse academic tasks. Through short, interactive demonstrations, participants learn how these models work and how they are trained. The applied portion covers essential skills: writing clear and consistent prompts, conducting reliable web searches, creating multimedia content, and vibe coding. Hands-on activities include using NotebookLM for teaching applications, converting course materials into explainer videos and podcasts, and exploring basic coding through practical exercises. The workshop concludes with an in-depth group discussion connecting these tools to real academic needs. The focus throughout is on practical use of chat bots like ChatGPT.com rather than API development.
