Did your mother call you to tell you about that new miracle cure for Alzheimer's disease? Did your Facebook feed pop up with an article on a factory farm of pigs intended for human transplant harvesting? Did one of your friends breathlessly tell you that there's a new spider that's going to kill us all? You might have heard any or all of these stories, but there's one thread connecting all of them: they're not true.
The ability to tell accurate news from fake news is an important skill that you'll use for the rest of your life. This LibGuide will give you valuable insight in telling fact from fiction online, plus a chance to exercise your newfound skills.

Goal: To create a succinct yet thorough guide to the art and science of prompt engineering (a.k.a. prompt design, prompt crafting, prompt creation) to elicit the most relevant, effective and accurate outputs. This guide shares evidence-based tips and tricks to optimize responses from Natural Language Processing (NLP) Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT. Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) performs best when prompted by a skilled communicator who understands how to structure and apply specific techniques for various purposes and use cases in order to generate the desired output.
Overview: This prompt engineering guide compiles material from online prompt engineering courses, YouTube videos, journal articles, and conversation threads with GenAI chatbots. All the material covered in this guide will help you understand the basic prompt engineering tips and tricks you can use to optimize interactions with artificial intelligence generators. Sample prompts and examples related to the humanities are interspersed throughout to illustrate best practices/techniques. However, you can easily adapt this guide to any field.
About this Guide: ChatGPT's mainstream debut in November 2022 sparked a seismic shift in education. Suddenly, educators faced a new challenge: how to teach and assess students in a world where AI could generate convincing text at the touch of a button. Recognizing this pivotal moment, a team at Collin College, supported by a Perkins Leadership Grant, sprang into action. Our mission? To harness the power of Generative AI (GenAI) for education. We assembled a diverse team of experts - from subject matter experts and librarians to accessibility gurus and administrative leaders. Together, we crafted this comprehensive GenAI guide, designed to empower both students and educators with the skills for responsible human-AI collaboration. Our journey didn't stop there. We partnered with Texas State Technical College to pilot the guide in their welding program, bringing AI literacy to a hands-on field. Now, we're excited to share this resource widely, gather your feedback, and measure its real-world impact on teaching and learning.

Her Şey Bir Merhaba ile Başlar is a multimedia textbook with supplementary materials for intermediate Turkish language learners.
The textbook and public Canvas course comprise an openly licensed curriculum focused on developing Intercultural Communicative Competence. The four units invite learners to engage with culturally rich print, audio and video texts and use the target language to investigate, explain and reflect on the relationship between contemporary Turks’ socio-cultural practices, products and perspectives. Each unit addresses a different aspect of society: family, love and marriage, the environment, and art and politics, and contains the following components:
- contextualized grammar lessons, - videos of Turks speaking about their lives and their country, - activities that hone language skills while raising awareness about contemporary Turkish society, - interactive, auto-correct exercises that facilitate learners’ acquisition of vocabulary and syntax structures.
The Her Şey Bir Merhaba ile Başlar textbook is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license. It is now downloadable for free in PDF or adaptable Google Docs format and is also available for purchase as a print-on-demand book from Lulu.com and Amazon.com. The Canvas course will be launching later in Spring 2021.
