Description
Technological advancement has rapidly transformed language education, with online resources becoming increasingly accessible and adaptable for diverse users. While conventional textbooks offer notable benefits, their value diminishes when content becomes outdated or irrelevant.
In recent years, generative AI has emerged as a standard tool in higher education. Applications such as ChatGPT and Copilot hold significant potential to support educators by generating learning materials tailored to learners’ levels, interests, and target topics. This hands-on session introduces participants to the creation of customized quizzes for both face-to-face and online formats, including those suitable for upload to learning management systems (LMS). Attendees will explore effective prompting strategies to obtain desired outputs from generative AI tools. By the end of the session, participants will be equipped to design and implement personalized quizzes that meet the specific needs of their learners.
