Have students complete a learning course in Datacamp. Examples include "Introduction to ChatGPT," "Understanding Artificial Intelligence," "Large Language Models (LLMs) Concepts," and "Generative AI Concepts." You have access to courses in Datacamp as a Lehigh employee. From the Datacamp landing page, you DO NOT need to "Create Your Free Account," even if this is the first time that you've accessed the platform. Instead, go straight to "Sign in" at the top right and type in your full Lehigh email email address. The system will bounce you to Lehigh's SSO and you'll be ready to learn!
Use an infographic to prompt classroom conversation. Examples from the European Network for Academic Integrity, an EDUCAUSE Review on "Artificial Intelligence: Where Are We Now?", and the 2023 AI Index Report from Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence at Stanford University can be found in this Lehigh Confluence guide.
