Generative AI & Multimedia Creation: 4-Step Course for Students
This generative artificial intelligence experience course was successfully completed at Ren'ai Hall Tin Ka Ping Primary School, bringing students the opportunity to learn about and practice artificial intelligence, with the hope that after completing this series of courses, they will create student works that can be used for product exhibitions at the school.
Entering the new era of AI, the time required for student works, from idea conception to final product, has significantly decreased, thanks to the assistance of generative artificial intelligence. From students' textual ideas to designing images, videos, music, and other works can now be done in just a few minutes, making it widely applicable in various situations that require showcasing learning outcomes (such as school celebrations, information days, parent days, etc.).
Our team of instructors designed the generative AI course to progress from simple to complex, ensuring that students have sufficient time to master and apply the knowledge they learn. It consists of four consecutive sessions, each lasting 1.5 hours, integrating theory with practice to guide students in gradually establishing their understanding and application skills regarding artificial intelligence. Below are the specific arrangements for each session:
Session One: Basic Theories of Artificial Intelligence and Initial Experience
Theory Explanation - At the beginning of the course, instructors explain the concept of generative artificial intelligence through everyday application examples, such as smart voice assistants, smart homes, and intelligent robots. At the same time, they explain the core principles of machine learning in an easy-to-understand way, including the differences between supervised and unsupervised learning.
Class Activity - Conversing with AI Students interact with various chatbots via the POE platform, attempting to pose different types of questions and analyze the AI's response patterns. This section allows students to directly experience the capabilities and limitations of AI, laying the foundation for the advanced learning to come.
Session Two: Mastering Prompting Techniques
Theory Explanation - The Key Role of Prompts Instructors deeply analyze the core value of prompting, explaining how the "Input-Processing-Output Model" describes how AI generates responses. The course emphasizes teaching the three main principles of prompt writing: "Clear, Context, Format", along with a detailed explanation of the six steps to improving prompts.
Class Activity - Students apply the prompting techniques they have learned to guide AI in generating various academic materials, such as article structures and explanations of scientific concepts. Through hands-on practice, students gain a deeper understanding of how to establish effective communication with AI.
Session Three: Multimedia Content Production
Theory Explanation - Review and Extension of Techniques Instructors help students review the prompting techniques from Session Two and demonstrate how to apply these methods using various types of AI creation tools.
Class Activity - From Text to Images This part of the session greatly stimulates students' creative enthusiasm. Students use the text materials generated in Session Two to create relevant images through AI image generation tools, and then convert these images into dynamic videos. This creative process fully showcases the potential of AI in the field of artistic creativity, with classmates actively participating.
Session Four: Knowledge Integration and Innovative Applications
Theory Explanation - The Intelligent Use of AI Instructors guide students to consider how to use AI tools wisely, including understanding the limits of AI capabilities, recognizing AI-generated content, fostering critical thinking, and establishing responsible AI usage habits.
Class Activity - Using the app creator function of POE, students collaborate in groups to attempt to develop simple HTML games, integrating AI technology with programming to unleash their creative potential.
