AI Literacy for Students

There are many different ways to use AI tools to help with research.

Here are some suggestions:

 

  • Keyword development > AI tools can be very helpful in expanding or narrowing keyword search terms on a topic
  • Study tutor > Create a study guide to help you prepare for an exam. AI tools can ask questions and give feedback on your answers.
  • Brainstorming and mind mapping > Many tools can help you expand on a research topic and create mind maps to visualize your research process
  • Revising and editing > Experiment with copy editing and revising your assignments to evaluate your writing style
  • Topic exploration > Not sure where to start on a new research topic? Gather background information, discover sub topics, and expand or narrow your topic parameters
  • Literature reviews > Do you need to canvas published literature on a topic? There are tools to help you gather and summarize sources
  • Coding and data analysis > AI tools can help debug or generate code. Some tools enable you to upload a data set for exploration, analysis and visualization
  • Summarizing or explaining new concepts > Do you have an article, instructions, or a video that you don't understand? AI tools can summarize and explain things in simpler terminology
  • Example generation > Given a model or question with appropriate parameters, AI tools can generate further cases
  • Translation > There are many tools that can help with language translation in both written and audio formats
  • Interview preparation > Conduct practice interviews with AI before you speak to actual people. Ask for feedback on your questions or interview style
  • Deliberate practice > AI can provide consistent, targeted feedback to practice and improve exercises, skills and training
