In this session, I will give a brief introduction to Large Language Models, then delve into how we can use ChatGPT to change the way we teach. I will guide participants through practical applications, showcasing how this technology can change the way you can foster personalised learning experiences, and introduce interactive teaching methodologies. We'll explore ‘prompt engineering’ and look into how to overcome potential hurdles. The presentation will include:

• demonstrations of how students or teachers can have educational conversations with the AI using simple and advanced prompts.

The presentation is designed to give teachers the knowledge and tools needed to create a more engaging and effective learning environment. With a focus on various real-world examples and ‘best guesses’ at future trends, attendees will leave with an understanding of how ChatGPT can be integrated into learning workflows in vocational education settings.

The goal is to provide teachers and other staff with practical knowledge on integrating ChatGPT into their teaching strategies, creating a more engaging learning environment. Real-world examples and discussions on future trends will be incorporated to give participants an understanding of the technology's application in vocational education, including common traps and pitfalls. It will also demonstrate ways to allow students to interact with the technology to extend their learning experience.
