Developing EL Civics COAAP Instruction and Assessment Tasks with AI

Session 6: 10:30am-11:30am (Saturday March 02, 2024)

 

Description

Many EL Civics COAAP instruction and assessment tasks require agency-created scenarios or histories. Artificial Intelligence tools can assist curriculum developers and teachers in writing multiple versions of these scenarios and/or histories, making the process much less time consuming. Presenters will model the use of ChatGPT in creating scenarios, lead participants through the process and then assist participants in using ChatGPT to write a scenario on their own. Links and resources provided.
