How to Use the ChatGPC Faculty Portal
The ChatGPC Faculty Hub is a curated, plain-language collection of AI teaching resources, classroom prompts, and practical strategies maintained by IT Services for Great Plains College instructors.
Browse by AI Familiarity Level
Every resource is vetted and tagged by level so you can find guidance that fits your comfort level:
- Beginner Plain-language introductions, zero-jargon overviews, and low-friction first steps.
- Intermediate Concrete teaching workflows, assignment adaptations, and rubric design.
- Proficient Deeper prompt engineering, policy frameworks, and advanced instructional design.
Filter by What You Teach
AI lands very differently across college disciplines. Use the teaching area filters to view targeted recommendations:
Trade instructors see demo and code-book prep; health instructors find clinical reasoning without patient data; academic instructors find assessment redesign.
Classroom-Ready Prompts (1-Click Copy)
Don't start from scratch. Browse pre-tested prompt starters for common teaching workflows. Tap 📋 Copy prompt to copy the template, then paste it directly into ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, or Gemini. Replace the [bracketed] parts with your assignment details.
Ask in Your Own Words
Use the search bar at the top of the library to ask natural language questions like "How do I redesign an essay?" or "Find beginner tools for business admin". The AI search will surface relevant resources from our vetted library.

Introduction to generative AI and large language models: how predictive text generation works, what AI can and cannot understand, student motivations, and framing AI use within Great Plains College academic standards.
- Generative AI produces fluent language from learned patterns; it does not reason, comprehend, or verify facts like a human.
- Students remain responsible for their own learning, reasoning, and submitted coursework.
- Establishing assignment-specific AI expectations reduces confusion before students start working.
Hands-on demonstration of prompt crafting for instructors: building multi-level grading rubrics, generating comprehension quizzes from readings, tailoring explanations to various reading levels, and saving time on routine prep.
- Prompt structure: clear instructor persona + specific task + format constraints + examples produces dramatically better outputs.
- Use AI to scaffold preparation (rubrics, quizzes, sample scenarios) while keeping final editorial review human.
- Never paste confidential student, patient, or client information into AI chat tools.
Strategies for modernizing assessments: creating AI-integrated vs. AI-resistant activities, evaluating AI responses for bias and fabricated citations, teaching verification protocols, and navigating academic integrity constructively.
- Shift assessments toward personal experience, in-class demonstrations, local context, and process evidence.
- Teach students the verification routine: checking primary sources, identifying omitted perspectives, and questioning assumptions.
- Equitable teaching: offer offline and low-tech alternatives for students without access or accounts.

Improve my syllabus's AI policy & assignments
Paste your syllabus and get AI-statement options plus one assignment redesign idea.You are helping a college instructor update their course syllabus for a world where students have easy access to generative AI tools. Here is my syllabus: [PASTE YOUR SYLLABUS HERE] First, review it and note anywhere it's silent or vague about AI use. Then: 1. Draft three AI-policy statement options I could use in my syllabus — permissive (AI encouraged, with disclosure expected), limited (AI allowed for some tasks, not others), and restrictive (AI not permitted) — each 3-5 sentences, in plain language a student would actually read. 2. Pick the one assignment in this syllabus most exposed to being done entirely by AI, and suggest a redesign that keeps the same learning outcome but is harder to complete without doing the thinking myself. For reference, compare tone and structure against how other institutions have written theirs before you draft mine: - RRC Polytech's GenAI guidelines: https://www.rrc.ca/administration/institutional-plans/artificial-intelligence/generative-artificial-intelligence-guidelines/ - Douglas College's guide to crafting a course-outline AI statement: https://desc.opened.ca/2023/08/30/crafting-an-artificial-intelligence-policy/ - Carleton University's sample syllabus statements: https://carleton.ca/ai/instructors/sample-syllabus-statements/
Build a grading rubric
Turn any assignment into a clear rubric with four performance levels.You are an experienced college instructor who writes clear, student-friendly rubrics. Create a grading rubric for the assignment below. Use 4 performance levels (Exemplary / Proficient / Developing / Beginning) and 3-5 criteria that reflect what actually matters for this assignment. For each cell, write 1-2 sentences in plain language a student could self-assess against. Finish with a one-line note on how I could weight the criteria. Course and level: [e.g. first-year Business Communications] The assignment: [PASTE YOUR ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS HERE]
Redesign an assignment for the AI era
Rework an existing assignment so AI either strengthens it or can’t quietly do it all.You are a thoughtful instructional designer helping a college instructor adapt to a world where students have easy access to AI tools like ChatGPT. Here is my current assignment: [PASTE YOUR ASSIGNMENT HERE] First, briefly tell me which parts of this assignment an AI chatbot could currently do well, so I understand my exposure. Then propose two redesigns: 1. An "AI-integrated" version where students are expected to use AI and must document, critique, and build on what it produces. 2. An "AI-resistant" version that shifts the work toward things AI does poorly (personal experience, in-class components, local context, process evidence). Keep the learning outcomes the same, and keep the grading workload realistic for one instructor.
Student AI Orientation at Great Plains College
A companion resource you can share with your students during the first weeks of class.
ChatGPC Student AI Orientation
We designed a self-paced, 1-hour orientation for new students that teaches healthy AI study habits without requiring an AI account. Students explore 6 core skills:
Students generate an inspectable Markdown learning journal showing their participation. All data stays local in the student's browser.
