As we wrapped up 2022 and entered the year 2023 we were ushered with the groundbreaking, revolutionary AI application called ChatGPT. The app generates human-like conversations between human and the computer. I stumblwd into ChatGPT just after Christamas 2022 in a Medium article that sang praises of this new AI tool by OpenAI. I could not resist, I dived in, read more articles, watched videos and became an immediate convert and advocate.
Fast forward four months later I got to create an app layered on the ChatGPT API with a specific focus on education, named AskGPT. While the debate rages on whether ChatGPT and other Large Language Models (LLM) applications are good for education or not, I decided to focus on the positives education can derive from such applications.
I have found many education improvement ideas difficult to implement due to the difficulty of developing learning materials. Every teacher knows how difficult and time consuming it is to produce original learning materials and assessment task. Not anymore.
AskGPT is designed to simplify the interaction with ChatGPT and add more functionality targeted at education as outlined below:
Design Lesson Notes in minutes
AskGPT allows you to develop notes in minutes by asking questions on each concept you want to teach in the lesson. You can use the CAPS Content and Concepts column to get specific answers to a particular concept that learners need to master.
The advantage of AskGPT is that it allows you to review and edit the response to fit your specific requirement. This is sometimes necessary as ChaGPT may give an incorrect answer or the language might not be correct for the South African curriculum context.
Once you have reviewed all answers you can generate a PDF document that you can print and give as notes to your learners.
Create teaching Slides
Create Lesson Plans
Create Differentiated Tasks
Share your GPTs with others
As the GPT models become more intelligent and perform more tasks we will update AskGPT to the highest level of intelligence at any given point. We think teachers will find AskGPT a great tool to simplify their work and lighten the load of developing materials.
