Learning from Role Play Scenarios Using ChatGPT with EB Caron & N. Segool
Oct. 23, 12:45 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. (in person)
Learn about our experiences having students role-play professional-client interactions using ChatGPT. Specifically, we’ve designed assignments for Psychology undergraduate and masters students in which students prompt ChatGPT to role-play clients, practice specific therapeutic skills in the subsequent conversations, and then reflect on their skill use. We will share successes, challenges, and tips. We hope to have time for you to brainstorm applications for your own course material and try out a prompt that you could use in one of your classes.
The Oct. 23, Learn at Lunch will be held in the Creative Technology Room located in the lower level of the Mortensen Library. Lunch will be provided at this in person Learn@Lunch.
