(26 Apr 2024) Sage and Technology from Sage, a provider of innovative library technology solutions, has launched a free online course to develop users’ proficiency in ChatGPT.
The Art of ChatGPT Interactions is taught by Dr. Leo S. Lo, Dean of the College of University Libraries and Learning Sciences at the University of New Mexico. In the course, Dr. Lo provides comprehensive instruction on AI prompting and demonstrates how users can leverage this knowledge to create high-quality prompt outputs and dialogues on ChatGPT.
The two-hour course provides information on prompt building, ethical artificial intelligence usage, and implementing the CLEAR framework (Concise, Logical, Explicit, Adaptive, and Reflective) in generating relevant and helpful responses. Dr. Lo guides users in creating prompts that are concise, logical, and explicit, ensuring quality output that is consistent, coherent, and contextually relevant. He developed the CLEAR framework, which is geared towards optimizing interactions with generative AI language models at the beginner level and nurturing the critical thinking necessary to anticipate the challenges and opportunities of AI-generated materials.
The course is freely available for anyone to access through Sage Campus, an online courses platform. Additionally, Lean Library, a browser extension for academics offered by Technology from Sage, has integrated with Sage Campus to display the course via the extension pop-up when users navigate to the ChatGPT website or OpenAI.com domain. This allows libraries that subscribe to Lean Library to provide AI training directly to their patrons in their time of need.
