👋Introduction
About me,
the course and our Moodleplatform
Hello, my name is Dunja and I am a high
school teacher based in Bavaria. I am excited to present a course that explores
the fascinating world of Artificial Intelligence and Chatbots. This course is
hosted on mebis, one of the largest Moodle platforms in the world, catering to
all teachers and students in Bavaria. On mebis, we have a feature called teachSHARE,
where teachers can share their courses and resources with one another. This
course is available there.
In this course, students in grades 5-10 will learn about the
latest developments in AI and chatbot technology, including the highly-popular
ChatGPT model. Through a variety of interactive lessons and exercises, students
will gain a comprehensive understanding of what AI and chatbots are, their
history and how they work, including the use of neural networks. Additionally,
students will learn basic programming skills to create their own simple
chatbot.
Designed in
a tile format, this course is perfect responsive and can be worked with an any almost
every device and can be completed asynchronously.
Intro Section
Upon entering, students will be greeted by their first name
and provided with a dropdown textfield outlining the key topics that will be
covered in the course. This section serves as an overview of what students can
expect to learn.
First
Section (Introduction to ChatGPT)
In this section, students will be introduced to ChatGPT, the
language model developed by OpenAI. A with an iframe embedded HP5 slider in a
textfield will allow students to explore the capabilities of ChatGPT. This
section shows how ChatGPT can be used in various applications.
Additionally, this section also features a database where
students can share their ideas for using ChatGPT and exchange feedback through
commenting on each other's entries.
Second
Section (What is a Chatbot?)
In this section, students will engage in interactive
activities to further their understanding of chatbots. The first activity is a
"Fill in the blanks" quiz about how ChatGPT introduces itself, with
instant feedback provided. The second activity is an H5P Flashcard game, where
students will have to decide whether the given advice is from a chatbot or not,
also with instant feedback. Both activities are embedded in a textfield,
allowing for seamless integration and easy access without the need for
additional clicks.
Third
Section (AI, Chatbot?)
In this section, students will learn about the differences
between AI and chatbots through an visual representation. ChatGPT will explain
how all chatbots are AIs, but not all AIs are chatbots, using the analogy of
different animals, with a picture to illustrate the concept.
To further
reinforce this concept, students will participate in a Drag & Drop exercise
where they will have to decide which examples are AI and which are chatbots.
Instant feedback will be provided to help students understand the concept
better. If the H5P exercise is failed (under 50%) there will be a link where
students can watch a video to understand the concept better.
Third
Section (Is this new?)
After this, students will delve into the history of AI by
learning about the development of chess computers and AI-powered Go players. A
dropdown textbox will provide an explanation of the Turing Test, a measure of a
machine's ability to demonstrate human-like intelligence.
To reinforce
their understanding of the Turing test, students will participate in a H5P
multiple choice activity where they will have to identify which answer is from
a computer and which is from a human. This interactive exercise will help
students to understand the evolution of AI and the challenges of creating
machines that can pass the Turing test.
Fourth
Section (Interview with ChatGPT?)
Then, students will have the opportunity to gain insights
into the inner workings of ChatGPT through an interview with ChatGPT. The
interview will be presented in a slider format, allowing students to read the
conversation at their own pace.
Fifth Section (Is it magic?)
In this section, students will receive a basic explanation of
how chatbots work, including an overview of neural networks. A forum will also
be provided for students to exchange ideas and discuss their predictions for
the future of chatbots in 20 years.
Last Section (How do you programm a
chatbot??)
In
the last section, students will be presented with several course presentations
that provide a more in-depth look at the inner workings of chatbots. The
presentations will show how it is possible with simple programs that a computer
can give fitting answers. There are also pictures, videos, and interactive drag
and drop exercises. For example, students will learn about the use of the
"if-then" function and how it can be used to make decisions based on
certain conditions. One example could be a simple program that gives fitting
items to take to the beach depending on the weather forecast, such as boots and
an umbrella for sunny weather and sunglasses and flip-flops for bad weather.
The students will then have to drag and drop the right items in the bag.
At the end of the course, students will have the
opportunity to provide their feedback on the use of chatbots in education
through a database where they can share their opinions. Additionally, a
database will also be provided for students to reflect on what they have
learned throughout the course and how their perspective on chatbots such as
ChatGPT has changed. This interactive feature allows for students to share
their thoughts and exchange feedback with their peers through commenting on
each other's entries.
