In this post, we discuss how prompts and GPT could play a role in education coupled with metacognition and the inverse bloom’s taxonomy. The views are based on my teaching at the University of Oxford but are my individual / personal perspective. Based on this approach, we could potentially achieve goals of personalization and scale in learning and assessment. More interestingly, they take us back to a much older, reflective style of teaching and learning characterised by the Oxford tutorial. Comments welcome - especially from other educators. I am also developing this idea at our start-up Salooki. Other major universities such as Harvard University are also adopting GPT/LLMs in the classroom - such Harvard for their flagship coding course - Computer Science 50: Introduction to Computer Science. I am keen to discuss how other educators are adopting Generative AI in higher education.
