What you can do

Generative AI (GenAI) can support your learning when used responsibly. This page outlines how you can use GenAI tools—such as ChatGPT, DeepL, or Bing Image Creator—for study support, writing, coding, and visual design.

1. Use GenAI as a Learning Aid:

You can utilise GenAI to assist in understanding course material, generating ideas, seeking feedback, or providing suggestions.

For example, in ChatGPT you can ask:

• Please can you help me think about different types of research questions I could ask in [specific field] for a short paper.
• Please can you quiz me about the contents of molecular biology of the cell by Alberts?

More information about prompt engineering will be provided in the open-access tutorials.

2. Improve Writing Clarity and Grammar:

You can use GenAI for grammar checking, as a translation tool, and for improving the clarity of your writing. GenAI tools such as DeepL, Wordtune, QuillBot, ChatGPT, and Google Bard would be appropriate for this.

For example, in ChatGPT you can ask:

• Please can you help provide feedback on my abstract, considering sentence structure and grammar.

3. Image creation:

You can use GenAI to help assist in designing your images and illustrated abstracts.

For example, in Microsoft Bing Image Creator you could ask:

• Can you please help create the cover for my thesis on one health?

4. Coding and programming:

Use of GenAI in coding is at the discretion of your teacher. This should be tailored to your skill level and educational objectives. Beginners should prioritize hands-on coding to grasp the basics, while more advanced students may be able to use GenAI for code review and optimization.

For example, with your teacher's permission, you might use ChatGPT to ask:

• Can you check this Python code for any errors or inefficiencies and suggest improvements?
