Tech Tip – TTT
A quick technology tip to help you engage your students whether in the classroom or remotely.
Down the AI Rabbit Hole: New AI-Powered Search Engine and AI Literacy Experiment
In this week’s edition of ‘Down the AI Rabbit Hole,’ we explore a new AI-powered search engine that, in some instances, can replace Google. I also give an update on my AI Literacy experiment in my calculus class.
This week’s tip:
You might remember the buzz from last year when Kevin Roose, a columnist for the New York Times, had an interesting exchange with Microsoft’s generative AI, which bizarrely attempted to persuade him to leave his wife.
Down the AI Rabbit Hole: Structured Prompting & AI Literacy
In this week’s edition of ‘Down the AI Rabbit Hole,’ we explore structured prompting—a technique to enhance productivity with chatbot prompts. Additionally, I’ll share details about my new project this semester: the creation of an AI literacy overlay course.
This week’s tip:
One of the key distinctions between a generative AI chatbot, such as ChatGPT or Bard, and a Google search is the chatbot’s ability to remember your conversation in real time.

Down the A.I. Rabbit Hole
 |
|
In this new column, “Down the AI Rabbit Hole,” we will explore the applications and implications of generative AI in higher education. Despite some prevalent AI fatigue, our recent GLCA survey indicates that faculty members are well aware of the significant role this technology will play in our students’ futures (see more about this in Paul Djupe’s post below). |

Tech: Denison faculty and student perception of AI and its use
 |
|
In the fall, Dr. Paul Djupe and I carried out a survey involving more than 120 Denison faculty members, focusing on generative AI and its applications. Subsequently, Paul surveyed over 500 Denison students, asking similar questions. He has summarized his findings in a concise report that discusses both student and faculty perceptions of AI use, as well as the ways in which students have reported using AI. |
Tech: Fall wrap-up and spring planning- Consultations, AI, and Syllabi
First, ETS is happy to help with wrap up and planning- click to schedule a consultation. We are also hosting walk-in AI labs in the CfLT (Library A07) on January 5, 10-12pm and January 9, 1-3pm.
The syllabus is perhaps the most important document in our courses. A former colleague used to wear a t-shirt to the first day of class that read, “It’s in the syllabus!”
