In this workshop, hosted by Dr. Stavros Hadjisolomou and Dr. Rita El-Haddad, we’ll start by exploring prompt design essentials that empower AI to assist in lesson planning.

We’ll then dive into the PREP Framework, a structured approach for refining prompts to ensure AI-generated lesson plans are cohesive, engaging, and tailored to your course needs.

You’ll use these resources to:

• Design and adapt AI-powered lesson plans for your courses.
• Work through real-time exercises, building prompts and lesson plans tailored to your unique class needs.

Feel free to refer back to these resources during and after the workshop as you apply AI to improve your lesson planning.

Tips for Using Prompts in the Classroom

1. Start Simple: Begin with basic prompts and gradually increase complexity as you become more comfortable.
2. Be Specific: The more detailed your prompt, the more targeted and useful the AI's response will be.
3. Iterate and Refine: Don't expect perfect results on the first try. Refine your prompts based on the outputs you receive.
4. Maintain Critical Thinking: Use AI as a tool to improve, not replace, your expertise and judgment.
5. Encourage Ethical Use: Teach students how to use AI responsibly and maintain academic integrity.
6. Combine AI with Traditional Methods: Use AI-generated content as a starting point or supplement to your existing teaching materials.
7. Stay Updated: AI capabilities are constantly evolving. Regularly explore new features and possibilities. </aside>
