In an increasingly digitized and technologically evolving world, it is crucial to stay informed about the tools and resources that are reshaping education. Undoubtedly, ChatGPT is one of these tools, revolutionizing how students access and process information, and how educators design and deliver personalized educational content.

ChatGPT is a conversational language model developed by OpenAI. It operates by employing natural language processing techniques and is trained on vast amounts of text to generate responses to user-provided questions or prompts.

The potential of these technologies in education is evident. ChatGPT, Bard, or Bing can assist educators in several tasks, such as content generation and learning activities. However, new technologies bring along a series of changes, challenges, and concerns regarding their use in education. On one hand, optimists praise these tools for supporting teaching. On the other hand, skeptics perceive a clear challenge, particularly regarding the possibility of students easily completing tasks using tools like ChatGPT. These concerns and questions arise whenever new technologies appear in the educational domain. Yet, as usual, these concerns must be considered within a broader framework of reflection, encompassing the relationship (past, present, and future) between technologies and education.

In this course, you will discover how to effectively and creatively engage with ChatGPT to obtain surprising and relevant responses in the educational realm. Through practical examples, we will explore everything you need to know about ChatGPT, from designing curriculum plans and orchestrating learning experiences to creating instructional materials and crafting assessments.

At the end of this course, participants will have a better understanding of how to use ChatGPT to enhance teaching and learning processes. Participants will also have the opportunity to experiment with ChatGPT and develop their own ideas on how to integrate it into their teaching practice.

    I lost all my motivation. Eventhough this is my 3rd course after HP's AI Teacher Academy and the University of British Colombia's AI for Teachers, I do not think this course's assesment questions are designed to evaluate educators properly but merely to let them think they are stupid and would not able get any certificate from Galileo! Having just one chance to answer these tricky and stupid questions is a totally waste of time. That is a kind of robery. You are robots more than educators.

    This course teaches us not only to use ChatGPT in teaching and learning process but also teaches us various linked tools to create photos, videos, Power point presentations and to create a table to analyze results. One of the best online courses I have ever undergone and I gladly recommend this to anyone looking to harness the power of AI in teaching process.

    The topics and materials are excellent. However, the evaluation questions did not assess students' comprehension of the materials. It seems like the questions were not designed to test students' understanding of the material but to guess what the questions' creators thought. I don't think that it was what evaluation questions should have been testing.
