Prompts & Prompt Engineering

The art and science of talking to AI

📚 3 Lessons

🎯 Learning Objective

Design effective AI prompts using the CO-STAR framework to generate accurate, discipline-specific educational content.

💡 Why This Matters

Every AI output is only as good as the input it receives. Mastering prompt engineering transforms AI from a curiosity into a genuine productivity multiplier — enabling you to generate lesson plans, assessments, and feedback in minutes while maintaining your academic standards and your own voice.

👥 How This Fits Your Role

Instructors

Write prompts that generate syllabus-aligned, discipline-specific materials in your voice — cutting content creation time while keeping your pedagogical intent intact.

Professors

Produce case studies, literature summaries, and scaffolded assignments that reflect your scholarly standards — not generic AI defaults. Precision prompting is a research skill.

Administrators

Draft policy documents, faculty communications, and planning materials with speed and consistency — without sacrificing institutional tone or accuracy.
