This interactive session introduces faculty to the art and science of crafting effective prompts for artificial intelligence tools. Beginning with simple, direct instructions, participants will explore how to gradually build more complex and structured prompts that produce reliable, nuanced, and context-specific results. The session will also highlight strategies for scaffolding, ethical considerations, and the importance of data security when working with AI.

The session will emphasize strategies for:

• A framework for moving from basic one-line prompts to structured, reusable ones.
• Scaffolding techniques such as role assignment, context-setting, and examples.
• Approaches for refining prompts into templates for clarity, precision, and pedagogical usefulness.
• Awareness of how to responsibly and securely integrate AI into teaching and learning.

Optional after session:
Faculty are invited to remain after the presentation to get started on ideas for their own pedagogical needs, such as activities, case studies, and assessments.
