We’re integrating ChatGPT into Harmonize, coupling it with sound pedagogy on what makes a good discussion prompt, so you can write prompts more quickly and effectively.
Harmonize coaches ChatGPT on the best pedagogy for discussion and assignment prompts. Our belief is that instructors should be the subject matter experts and if we couple our knowledge of pedagogy with their expertise, we can leverage ChatGPT to brainstorm together to build a better prompt.
Imagine if you could have instructors click a few buttons and suddenly you have more sound pedagogy in ALL of your assignments and discussion forums? What type of impact would that have on student engagement across your institution if students were guided to discuss topics with an interaction strategy that is relevant to their course level? Every time?
Because we’ve trained ChatGPT on many course-level appropriate interaction strategies, the students will have different discussion prompt approaches at different points in their career so they never get bored and stay engaged with the content. If you’re a pedagogy geek like we are, think how we build them up through Bloom’s Taxonomy as they progress through levels of content? *mic drop*
If you’re an instructional designer, do you have time to do this for every course and every instructor? Let us answer this for you. You don’t. But what if you could focus on the higher level needs of the courses and we fill in the work of generating prompts for you? Or what if you don’t even have the support of a designer and you’re on your own as an instructor? Don’t tear your hair out for hours trying to do the right thing, let us help!
ChatGPT Integration
We coach ChatGPT to help instructors take their subject matter expertise and back it with a pedagogically sound prompt!
Milestones
Lend structure to your course experience. Milestones help students see what’s expected of them, and when, so they make substantive, on-time contributions.
Rich multimedia
Why should students only be able to post text? Harmonize supports video, images, audio, and embedded URLs, so students can finally express themselves.
Q&A
Let students answer each others’ questions. Leave Q&A boards up all term to avoid repeated questions and help students share information in one place.
PDF, Image & Video Annotations
Adding annotations to content promotes peer-to-peer learning, richer instructor feedback, and deeper engagement with course material.
Tagging
Pull students into the conversation by tagging them directly. Students and instructors have the ability to tag anybody in the class.
Notifications
Keep students on task and help them meet deadlines with notifications. Add a custom notification for the whole class or individual students.
Chat
Using Harmonize Chat, instructors and students can communicate in real time. It’s easy for students to see which classmates are online and begin a new chat.
Polls
Use polls to gauge understanding, assess students, or review content. You can even use a poll to take attendance. Run a poll on its own or add it to any discussion.
Reactions
Students can use emojis to respond to their classmates. Reactions lower the barrier to responding to peers and help more students contribute.
