Have AI questions? Try our Generative AI Quickstart modules

The modules of the Generative AI Quickstart

The Gardner--Harvey Library announces the availability of our
 Generative AI Quickstart, a set of nine short modules that cover different aspects and uses of AI tools. While the original project these are based on was targeted toward faculty, the material included should be quite helpful for students, faculty, and staff to build their familiarity and skills.

Each module provides key information on its theme using short videos, interactive quizzes, and text. They may be viewed independently or in any order. The nine modules are:
  • What is GenAI?
  • Types of GenAI Tools
  • Tips for Using GenAI
  • Responsible Use Considerations
  • Potential Uses in Teaching
  • Potential Uses in Learning
  • Potential Uses in Research Potential Uses for General Workplace Tasks
  • Privacy & Security Considerations
We have also included a short survey on the main page of the Quickstart to gather reactions to the modules and your input on other AI education and training we can offer in the future. We also have a short guide to using AI tools for research and other purposes available at https://libguides.lib.miamioh.edu/ai

We're sorry that it took us this long into the semester to complete this first attempt at an AI tutorial. Please have a look and let us know what information you need to more effectively use AI (if you choose to do so). Thank you, and best of luck on finals and completing the semester!
