AI Prompt Library launched to support Generative AI users: try it out!

Over the past year, generative AI has been a hot topic, with many opportunities to learn from experts and colleagues about its potential and applications. However, some may still feel that generative AI is a big black box, struggling to produce high-quality output or feeling overwhelmed by its endless possibilities.

To address these challenges, EDLAB has collaborated with Michalina Kaminska, a lecturer at SBE and an early adopter of AI, and with the University Library, to develop the AI Prompt Library.

A prompt is simply an instruction given to a generative AI tool to help you achieve the desired results. With the AI Prompt Library, you’ll discover that you don’t need to be an expert to make the most of generative AI.

To access the library, simply visit the Prompt Library landing page. 

During our presentation on 9 October, we introduced how to create a ChatGPT account and adjust settings to ensure your data remains private (see slides 23-29). Additionally, we provided guidance on how to start prompting, which can be revisited in the presentation (slides 33-42) for those needing a step-by-step introduction.

We encourage you to offer feedback on the existing prompts or suggest new ones. You can do this by sending us an email or completing a short survey. In the survey, you can reflect on the current prompts and share your preferences for future activities, such as workshops or self-paced formats. 

• Join the EDLAB-facilitated Community of Practice on AI and education. Please send an email to Alice Pan for more information.
• Become a member of the EDLAB UMployee group to stay updated on activities and news related to educational innovation and staff development.
• Keep an eye on our staff development offerings, primarily on-site workshops. 
• Explore the modules created by the library for students and staff on the responsible use of generative AI or the (draft) module on prompting. The latter is currently being fine-tuned, and you can provide feedback to the creators via email.

We were pleased to see so many of you at the launch event and appreciate the positive feedback received. Thank you for your interest, and we look forward to your contributions to the AI Prompt Library!
