In this episode, Zach and Mallory discuss the importance of prompt engineering in higher education. They argue that prompt engineering is a valuable skill that can help higher education professionals save time and improve their content. They also discuss the challenges of prompt engineering and offer tips for how to get started.

Prompt engineering is the process of creating prompts that are clear, concise, and effective. A good prompt will provide enough information for a language model to generate high-quality content, but it will also be specific enough to prevent the model from generating irrelevant or nonsensical content.

There are many challenges to prompt engineering. One challenge is that language models are constantly learning and evolving. This means that the prompts that work well today may not work as well tomorrow. Another challenge is that language models can be sensitive to the nuances of language. This means that a small change in a prompt can have a big impact on the output of the model.

Despite the challenges, prompt engineering is a valuable skill that can be used to improve the content of higher education institutions. By learning how to create effective prompts, higher education professionals can save time and improve the quality of their content.

Here are some additional details from the podcast episode:

  • Zach and Mallory discuss the benefits of using prompt engineering in higher education. They argue that prompt engineering can help higher education professionals save time, improve their content, and reach a wider audience.
  • They also discuss the challenges of prompt engineering and offer tips for how to get started. They recommend starting with simple prompts and gradually increasing the complexity of your prompts as you gain experience.
  • They also recommend using a variety of language models to find the one that works best for you.
