OpenAI
Launches Free AI Training Course for Teachers News18 …… 21 Nov 2024
Extract :
OpenAI and non-profit partner Common Sense Media have launched a
free training course for teachers aimed at
demystifying artificial intelligence and prompt engineering, the organizations said on Wednesday.
The move comes as OpenAI is
stepping up efforts to highlight the positive role in
education of its ChatGPT chatbot whose launch in
November 2022 kicked off a generative AI craze and made it one of the world's
fastest-growing applications.
Trained on reams of data, generative AI can create brand-new
humanlike content, helping users spin up term papers, complete science homework and even
write entire novels.
ChatGPT's launch – in the
middle of the school year – caught teachers off-guard when they realized it
could be used as a cheating and plagiarism tool, which then sparked a backlash
and school bans.
OpenAI, backed by Microsoft
and other investors and valued at $157 billion in its last funding round, has
formed a dedicated team to support what it says is the responsible use of AI in education and learning, led by former Coursera executive Leah Belsky.( leah.belsky@gmail.com / leah@coursera.org )
"My
goal in this role is to put
AI into the hands of every student and every teacher… and also give
them the skills to learn how to do it responsibly and effectively," Belsky
told Reuters.
Belsky said
that student adoption of ChatGPT is “very, very high," and parents are generally supportive,
viewing AI skills as essential for future careers.
The training course, targeted at kindergarten through 12th grade teachers,
shows them how to use the ChatGPT
chatbot product for various education use cases, such as to create lesson content or streamline department
meetings.
Available on
Common Sense Media's website, it is the first offering in OpenAI's partnership
with Common Sense Media.
Hey , Leah Belsky
Many congratulations for this initiative
After considerable searching
, I came across following page , which offers some lessons for students :
https://www.commonsense.org/education/collections/digital-well-being-lessons-for-grades-k-12
But I could not find any “ page-link “ for those
free courses for training
of teachers , although I am sure it exists ! Please share and make it easy to find
Next :
On the page mentioned above, how about adding
> www.My-Teacher.in ?
After you have opportunity to “ test “ it , you
will find that My-Teacher , literally “
echoes “ your goal of :
“ …….. put AI
into the hands of every student and every teacher “ ( works on mobile )
And like
your offer, My-Techer too , is totally
FREE ( does not require even login )
Additional Features :
In the next few weeks, I plan to add ,
Ø Every
TEST PAPER that gets generated, will be UNIQUE – eliminating scope for COPYING
Ø To
begin with, besides English, test papers will have choice of 6 Indian languages
