Level up your AI skills with this workflow!

Seasons greetings human, I know many people are right now enjoying a well earned rest, and I am sure that those of us that are still working are not jealous at all… but the end is now in sight for everyone! Not long to go now…

Knowledge builders 📚

• The Turing Test → A test designed to see if the intelligence of a machine is equal, or indistinguishable to that of a human.

• Co-Pilot Chat Enterprise → This version of Co-Pilot chat ensures that the data you input (via prompts or documents) do not get used to continue to train the LLMs. This is crucial if you will be uploading documents and using sensitive information in your prompts.

Industry updates 🤖

• OpenAI Prompt Guide → OpenAI have released their own prompt engineering guide that details some best practice. If you have had access to our AI guide, I hope you will notice some similarities.

• Microsoft Co-pilot for Education gets a release Date → A while back, I talked about how Co-Pilot built into Microsoft 365 would give teachers a virtual assistant at their finger tips. Co-Pilot for education customers will be available from the 1st January, 2024. However, this will be priced at $30 per user, with a minimum 300 accounts being signed up. In other words, far out of reach of many UK schools.

Fresh prompts ✨

1. Foundation level: Shades of Meaning → Vocabulary is incredibly important across all levels of education, and understanding the nuances between words that have similar meanings is core to developing vocabulary depth. Use in Bing Co-Pilot.

Where would you put the word whisper on a scale of 1 to 10 where 1 is no talking and 10 is the loudest you could be? Once you have done that, come up with words that would be placed in other parts of the scale.

Here is the output.

Expert Level: Quiz Flow → More of an AI workflow than a prompt (an area that is also quite interesting to explore). When you have made a multiple choice quiz using your AI tool of choice using the prompt below, copy the text and paste it into a word document, and save the file. Go to Microsoft/Google forms and click quick import.

Select the file that you saved earlier with the multiple choice questions. The software will then automatically create the quiz, as well as provide the correct answer. You are then free to add feedback based on what the answers were given and fine-tune the quiz experience based on your context.

The prompts was:

You are an expert assessment designer and you want to create 10 multiple choice quizzes on the following - Know that one way a fossil can be formed is through the following way: The animal dies. Soft parts of the animal's body, including skin and muscles, start to rot away or eaten by other animals. Before the body disappears completely, it is buried by sediment. Often at this point only the bones and teeth remain. Many more layers of sediment build up on top. This puts a lot of weight and pressure onto the layers below, squashing them. Eventually, they turn into sedimentary rock. While this is happening, water seeps into the bones and teeth, turning them to stone as it leaves behind minerals. The multiple choice questions should have no more than three answers and the distractors should provide insights into possible misconceptions. The answers should be given after each question.

The final sentence in the prompt seems to be important as it helps the software identify what the answer is to your question.
