Faculty - Create a Group Project
Using Multiple GenAI Platforms to Create a Group Project
As the teacher of a high enrollment finance course, Dr. Martina Schmidt’s objective
was to incorporate a student group project reflecting authentic financial goals and
challenges. She employed ChatGPT and Copilot to assist in designing the group project
on the topic of personal debt and found both to be effective and complimentary. “Each
tool presented info that the other one did not mention, and I see a benefit in merging
the two outputs.” Further, she expanded her prompting to request that each tool incorporate
how students can use of GenAI as resource within the group project.
AI Tools Used: ChatGPT and Google Gemini
