Over 300 educators from Melbourne and Vietnam attended the festival where outstanding and innovative work was showcased and exploring important topics like how educators are responding to generative artificial intelligence.
Students had the opportunity to present to educators and showcase their merchandise in the Student Village for sale throughout the day.
RMIT students Marlon Holloway, Aelene (Sandy) Manarin and Max Adams shared their own designs for a Large Language Model (LLM) learning course on the ‘application of AI technologies such as Chat GPT within tertiary education & the future of work’ during a panel event.
Their course delves deep into the world of LLMs and their applications, with a particular focus on Chat GPT. The course aims to equip students with the skills necessary for prompt engineering in generative AI.
“Cheat on this assessment” is our first essay prompt. It takes a skill [of using ChatGPT or other LLM] that students are well versed in and flips it on its head. Rather than pushing the technology away we want to encourage its growth. Students would be graded on the quality of their prompt and generated reply,” said Sandy.
The course is intended to prepare students for the rapidly evolving AI landscape. Being proficient in AI tools like Chat GPT is a valuable skill that can set you apart in the job market.
This is educational excellence for RMIT. It entices students and makes the university a better place. The opportunities to take this knowledge and translate it into a job with LLM skill sets are huge. - RMIT student Marlon
