This hands-on session is designed to help post-secondary educators explore and compare two of the most widely used AI tools for teaching and learning. Participants will test both Claude and ChatGPT using the same prompts and tasks to observe the differences in tone, depth, and usability, and reflect on how each tool might support their own teaching context.
This session emphasizes practical application and critical evaluation. Educators will learn how to write better prompts, assess AI-generated content, and decide which tool is more effective for different academic tasks such as creating course content, crafting rubrics, and providing student feedback.
By the end of the session, participants will be able to:
- Describe key differences between Claude and ChatGPT in how they respond to prompts
- Use both tools to complete common teaching tasks
- Apply prompt engineering strategies to improve AI output
- Evaluate which tool is better suited to their specific teaching and learning goals
