Using Generative Artificial Intelligence Large-Language Model Platforms To Promote Learning and Lessen Athletic Training Faculty Workload
Abstract:
Multiple generative artificial intelligence interface programs have become publicly available for free. Athletic training educators can utilize these generative AI platforms in various ways to reduce their overall workload. Large-language models can be used to assist in developing case-based scenarios, course and program learning objectives, athletic training student critical thinking and appraisal of information and other types of learning assignments. This lecture will present common and freely accessible generative AI large-language model platforms, their current strengths and prompt development. This lecture will also incorporate examples of generative AI into multiple aspects of athletic training education assignment development and program administration. By demonstrating various usages and ways to enhance prompt development, athletic training educators can learn and consider how generative AI and large-language model platforms can ease some of their daily and programmatic burdens and limitations.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize the strengths and limitations of current generative AI platforms.
- Demonstrate generative AI outputs relative to athletic training education situations.
- Determine how to incorporate generative AI platforms into faculty workload.
