Prompt Examples for Creating OER with Generative AI

Below are prompt examples that may be freely adapted and shared.

  • Supplementary Course Materials Generator Prompt, provided by Lance Eaton
    • This project creates a dynamic supplementary materials generator that produces high-quality practice questions, quizzes, case studies, and other learning resources tailored to specific course levels and student demographics. Using a LLM of choice, the model serves as an educational content developer, creating materials that reinforce course concepts, promote active learning, and accommodate diverse student needs while aligning with learning objectives and academic standards. These resources help instructors extend their teaching toolkit and provide students with additional opportunities to engage with course content.

Using AI in Creating OER Materials - Examples

  • OpenAudio • Brian Barrick
    • Brian Barrick trained an AI voice model and adapted several OpenStax textbooks into full-length audiobooks. His first project (American Government) was human-narrated by himself and a student co-narrator. The other projects (US History, World History, and Intro to Sociology) are fully AI-narrated. All are available on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts
