General Aims

The project Prompt Lab: Documenting Prompts and Critically Reflecting the Effects of LLMs for Learning seeks to enhance discipline-specific learning at the University of Innsbruck through the effective integration of large language models (LLMs). For this, an interface able to collect and share effective prompts will be developed and promoted. This is a structured digital platform in which educators and students can upload and access effective AI prompts. It serves as a collaborative resource to explore, reuse, and refine high-quality prompts for academic purposes. Furthermore, academic publications elaborating on the project’s results will be made available after the project’s competition. 

 

Specific Aims 

For teaching staff the following initiatives will be implemented within this project:

• designing a teaching guide with Open Educational Resources (OERs)
• implementing tutoring sessions within discipline-specific courses to refine students’ prompting strategies in which students can evaluate the impact of incorporating LLMs in their learning
• developing an open online catalogue of student-created prompts
• raising awareness about the potential to enhance teaching and learning practices through effective and responsible use of LLMs
• fostering and disseminating the know-how about LLM-prompting, optionally with RAG
• collecting empirical data to assess learning outcomes.
   

For students the following initiatives will be implemented within this project:

• offering live tutorials held by experienced tutors embedded in university courses
• enhancing students’ prompt-engineering competences in line with their specific academic needs.
