SFSU ChatGPT Day Recap | May 7
As part of the San Francisco State University (SFSU) ChatGPT Edu rollout, Academic Technology (AT), the Center for Equity & Excellence in Teaching & Learning (CEETL), and Information Technology Services (ITS) partnered with OpenAI to host SFSU ChatGPT Day on Wednesday, May 7, 2025. Featuring user-focused sessions for active students, faculty, and staff, ChatGPT Day demonstrated what the tool has to offer the campus community.
Session recordings are listed below.
Custom GPTs for Educational Use
The segment discusses the use of custom GPTs for educational purposes, particularly in university settings. A biology lecture recall GPT is demonstrated, which allows students to ask questions about specific lectures and topics. Professors can upload lecture materials, including PowerPoint presentations and recordings, to create these custom GPTs. Students can then interact with the GPT to review lecture content, ask clarifying questions, and even generate visualizations. The discussion also covers the potential benefits of using these tools, such as enabling more elevated classroom discussions and allowing students to learn at their own pace. Concerns about academic integrity and the potential for students to misuse the tool are addressed, with suggestions for implementing AI disclosure forms and focusing on developing students' critical thinking and prompt engineering skills.
