| Today you’ll be learning how to use AI to learn! Very meta. |
| Let’s get to it! |
Task for the Day  |
 Project: Learn with AI |
 Estimated time: 20 minutes |
 Tools: ChatGPT |
Context Building  |
| We all face moments where we feel stuck. |
| Perhaps we have a task we need to complete, but we just don’t know how to start. |
| Maybe we’re introduced to a topic that’s completely new to us, and it’s not quite making sense. |
| These moments can feel deeply frustrating. They can make learning feel overwhelming. |
| In this lesson, you will learn how to use ChatGPT as a learning co-pilot. It will help you learn new topics, deepen your learning, or simply get unstuck. |
| In this lesson you’ll learn: |
| How to use ChatGPT as your learning co-pilotHow to apply the PREP framework to support your learningPrompt refinements that will help deepen your learning |
Let’s Prep  |
| In this lesson we’ll be revisiting the PREP framework, and using it in the context of a learning aid. |
| As a reminder, PREP stands for: |
| Prompt: Setting the context for your interaction with ChatGPT.Role: Defining ChatGPT’s role in this scenario.Explicit Instruction: Clearly stating what you want ChatGPT to do.Parameters: Defining the scope and limits of the task. |
| Think about a recent time at work or while learning when you encountered a new topic or concept that you were not familiar with. A moment that had you feeling stuck. |
| Bullet point out the details of this scenario in a notetaking app. This information will be integrated into your PREP framework. |
| For example, let’s imagine you’re a Customer Service Manager for an eCommerce skincare company. In a recent team call, the CEO asked you to provide a list of advantages and disadvantages of launching a new customer loyalty program, as well as some examples of how it could work. There’s only one small problem – you’ve never implemented a customer loyalty program before! You don’t even know much about them… |
| Here’s how you can use the PREP framework with ChatGPT to help you in this scenario: |
| Prompt: Setting the context for your interaction with ChatGPT. |
| e.g. The CEO asked me to list the advantages and disadvantages of customer loyalty programs for our eCommerce skincare business. They’ve asked me to explain how a program for our business could work. I don’t have experience in creating customer loyalty programs for eCommerce, but I know a lot about customer satisfaction. |
| Role: Defining ChatGPT’s role in this scenario. |
| e.g. I want you to act as a marketer that specialises in customer loyalty and retention strategies for eCommerce companies. |
| Explicit Instruction: Clearly stating what you want ChatGPT to do. |
| e.g. Provide me with an overview of why customer loyalty schemes are important for eCommerce businesses. What are the advantages and disadvantages? What are some important factors in running successful customer loyalty schemes for eCommerce businesses? How do these eCommerce programs compare to bricks and mortar businesses? |
| Parameters: Defining the scope and limits of the task. |
| Please respond to each of the questions above individually. Please separate the advantages and disadvantages into their own bullet pointed lists. |
| The Prompt in Full |
| Taking each individual element from our PREP framework, the initial prompt we’ll submit to ChatGPT will now look like this: |
| The CEO asked me to list the advantages and disadvantages of customer loyalty programs for our eCommerce skincare business. They’ve asked me to explain how a program for our business could work. I don’t have experience in creating customer loyalty programs for eCommerce, but I know a lot about customer satisfaction. |
| I want you to act as a marketer that specialises in customer loyalty and retention strategies for eCommerce companies. |
| Provide me with an overview of why customer loyalty schemes are important for eCommerce businesses. What are the advantages and disadvantages? What are some important factors in running successful customer loyalty schemes for eCommerce businesses? How do these compare to bricks and mortar businesses? |
| Please respond to each of the questions above individually. Please separate the advantages and disadvantages into their own bullet pointed lists. |
| You can use the example prompt above if you’re having trouble coming up with your own scenario. |
| After you’ve received your initial response, dive deeper into a specific topic area to deepen your learning. You can do this by asking ChatGPT to provide an example based on its response. |
| e.g. ‘You’ve referenced X in your response. Please provide an example of X in more detail so that I can understand the concept further’. |
| Other useful prompting phrases that will help you dive deeper into specific aspects of ChatGPT’s response include: (replace ‘X’ with text copied directly from ChatGPT’s response) |
| Please explain X in more detailPlease simplify X to help with my understandingPlease elaborate on XPlease provide a metaphor for X to help with my understanding |
 Get ready to build! |
| To make your life easier when you build, it’s good to get some practical stuff out the way first. Follow these steps so you’re ready to build: |
| Ensure you’ve created a ChatGPT account here. |
Time to cook  |
| Follow the steps below to build: |
 Using a note-taking app of your choice, bullet point out the details of a recent scenario during work or learning that had you feeling stuck. |
 Integrate the details of this scenario into a PREP framework and submit this to ChatGPT for an initial response. |
 Ask ChatGPT a follow-up question to explore a specific topic or concept mentioned in its initial response. |
