Abstract:
This lecture will focus on how I trained an AI teaching assistant chatbot for a general education course offered to undergraduate students from various majors. This chatbot provides guidance on academic paper writing by accessing system prompts and a knowledge base, while not replacing student’s critical thinking or directly generating content for them. The lecture will share the working scenarios, training process, application results, and reflections on the AI teaching assistant chatbot.
Light lunch will be provided.
