Description
This session will describe the results of an exploratory action research project to develop an AI-assistant to help first-year undergraduates perform their first research assignment in college. The different prompt engineering techniques used to develop this AI agent will be discussed (multi-shot, TRACI structure, etc.). Additionally, the viability and pragmatic challenges of creating such an AI-assistant will be discussed, with particular emphasis on the challenges of assessing generative AI outputs in a pedagogical context.
