Description
During fall 2023, a research team at the UK's teaching center conducted a 14-week exploration of the capacities of four text-based GenAI tools to support student learning across six disciplines. The study emphasized repeated prompting, pushing back, and re-prompting of the bots, as well as student reflection on the process. This session presents findings on GenAI's effectiveness as a dynamic, interactive study tool. Qualitative and reflective analysis of the data reveals strategies for effectively engaging students with these tools and highlights the importance of coaching students to be curious and critical in leveraging AI for their own learning.
