The only way to benefit is to work/play with chatGPT.

Ask how this can be improved, prompt for different specific sections of handbook, etc.


As an expert on artificial intelligence and learning, produce a handbook with detailed examples of how to use large language models for peeragogy. Think deeply.

I also highly recommend putting the Peeragogy Handbook as a source in NotebookLM (Google). It does not train on those data but it will allow Gemini to answer questions using only the handbook. It can also generate a podcast using the handbook (in that case it will add external information).

When using ChatGPT, be sure to also use the new o1 model for deeper thinking, as Howard says, you can also ask o1 (and the other models) to take their time, think deeply.

Niggle. 

We need to think deeply. 

The algorithms do not “think.” They are very sophisticated (and expensive to run, as far as the planet is concerned) auto-complete software. 

I encourage all of us to avoid anthropomorphizing.

Think deeply is a prompt that produces more thorough results and calling it autocomplete misses its capability as a

Hi!

I agreed to write a summary paragraph recapping Monday's peeragogy meeting.

Last week, we noted that AI isn't going away.   So, we should absolutely try to understand its broader implications (e.g., including its environmental and social implications, how it is produced, etc.).  An interesting question is what degree AI itself could help with that.  Current AI systems wouldn't be able to teach everything, but they might give a reasonable outline that could be developed collaboratively (kind of like how started off with Peeragogy Handbook!).  It would be great if educators also took this ecosystemic perspective, particular with regard to assessment.  If students are using AI to cheat on their assessed work, maybe the assessment criteria need to be adjusted (I'm inspired by Liz Coleman's "Regaining the Thought-Action Continuum: A New Liberal Arts", I happened to attend the lecture she gave on this topic at Bennington College in 2007; see attached).

I have used ChatGPT to brainstorm a course syllabus and a reading summary. It’s useful for helping me see my blind spots (where I know too much, in particular).

Hi, Peeragogues!

This is a splendid email thread! Thanks for sharing the summary paragraph, Joe!

I want to respond to a few things that others wrote:

"I also highly recommend putting the Peeragogy Handbook as a source in NotebookLM (Google). It does not train on those data but it will allow Gemini to answer questions using only the handbook. It can also generate a podcast using the handbook (in that case it will add external information)."

I've never heard of NotebookLM. I will consider more, but I initially like the idea of putting the Handbook as a source, Roland!

"I have used ChatGPT to brainstorm a course syllabus and a reading summary. It’s useful for helping me see my blind spots (where I know too much, in particular)."

I had not considered the value of ChatGPT in seeing blind spots. That's a great point, Kathy!

"The Mollick’s Coursera course is a good"

I assume this is the one you are referring to Howard, I just signed up. It looks good!

Yes, that’s the course I mentioned. And I tell the story of Steven Johnson and Notebook LLM in the Patreon article I linked in my previous email.
