Test: ‘Magic Tools’ for uddannelsesfolk – Magic School AI

Udgivet i af

Hvor lang tid tager det at lære prompt engineering, så det begynder at give mening at bruge værktøjerne? Er engelsk ikke dit modersmål ej heller det sprog du underviser på? Kan man bruge generativ kunstig intelligens uden at gå på kompromis med sin underviserintegritet? Her er et værktøj, hvor andre uddannelsefolk har lagt prompts ind på forhånd.

‘Magic Tools’ for uddannelsesfolk

Prompt engineering er det, der gør forskellen på brugbar og ikke brugbar kunstig intelligens. Som de siger i computer science: “Garbage in, garbage out”. For 1½ år siden var jeg forsigtigt begejstret for et værktøj jeg var faldet over. Denne gang er jeg faldet over en platform, som jeg synes også viser stort potentiale for undervisere og os, der understøtter undervisernes arbejde.

MagicSchool stiller 60+ værktøjer (prompts) til rådighed for brugerne. Værktøjerne er delt op i typer, som jeg har brugt i overskriften af denne post.

Tre eksempler

I første omgang har jeg kastet mig over spørgsmålsgenerering med Depth of Knowledge. Jeg tog udgangspunkt i “Sociocracy” og fik først ChatGPT 3,5 til at forklare hvad det er. Derefter brugte jeg ordet “sociocracy” som eneste input til Magic School. Her er hvad de to tilsammen kom frem til:

5. klassesniveau

ChatGPT forklarer sociocracy til 5. klasseselever:

Imagine you have a big group of friends who all want to decide what game to play together. In sociocracy, everyone gets a chance to say what game they like, and then they talk about it together to find one that makes everyone happy. It’s like making decisions where everyone’s voice is important, and they work together to find the best choice for everyone. So, it’s about listening to each other and finding solutions that everyone can agree on.

9. klassesniveau

ChatGPT forklarer sociocracy til 9. klasseselever:

Sociocracy is a way of organizing groups where everyone has a say in decisions that affect them. It’s not just about voting for one option; instead, it focuses on consent, which means everyone agrees that a decision is good enough for now, even if it’s not perfect.

In sociocracy, decisions are made through rounds of discussion where everyone gets a chance to speak up. It’s like a team where every player’s opinion matters, and they work together to reach agreements that everyone can support. This approach aims to create more inclusive and efficient decision-making processes by valuing everyone’s input and aiming for solutions that satisfy the whole group.

Universitetsniveau

ChatGPT forklarer sociocracy til universitetsstuderende:

Sociocracy is a governance and decision-making system designed to foster inclusive and effective collaboration within organizations. It emphasizes consent-based decision-making, where proposals are adopted if no one has reasoned objections rather than through traditional voting.

In sociocracy, authority is distributed across circles or teams, each with defined roles and responsibilities. These circles operate semi-autonomously but are interconnected through feedback loops and representatives, ensuring that decisions made at all levels consider the input and concerns of all stakeholders.

The goal of sociocracy is to achieve more agile, responsive, and equitable organizational structures by prioritizing transparency, effective communication, and continuous improvement. It’s often seen as a way to balance individual autonomy with collective goals, promoting a culture of cooperation and shared responsibility within workplaces and other collaborative settings.

Hvad er din “best practice” for brug af kunstig intelligens til undervisningsmaterialer?

 

Det skal give mening at bruge et værktøj, også kunstig intelligens. Men hvad der ikke gav mening i forgårs kan godt komme til at give mening i morgen. Mange af os der var børn før årtusindskiftet, husker trafikkortene fra ADAC og fra FDM. I dag bruger de fleste af os fx Google Maps (eller tilsvarende) og kan godt finde ud af, at selvom Google siger, at ruten er dén vej, så følger vi ikke instruktionerne blindt og vandrer ud foran bilerne i trafikken. Vi lader naturligvis ikke vores værktøjer tage beslutninger for os.

Sådan er det også med kunstig intelligens i undervisningssammenhænge. Det er stadig vores faglige bedømmelse af værktøjet der afgør, om eller hvordan det kan bruges. Lige nu går det hurtigt med udviklingen af prompts for undervisningsverdenen. Eksemplet fra Magic School synes jeg er mere end lovende!

Hvad bruger du? Hvad har du prøvet? Hvorfor droppede du et bestemt værktøj og hvorfor bliver du ved med et andet?
