Build and Test Your Own AI Teaching Assistant in 45 Minutes
In this hands-on Sparkshop, participants will design and test a course-specific AI teaching assistant using Custom GPTs. The session will focus on aligning AI support with course goals, assignment expectations, teaching style, and ethical boundaries. Participants will identify one instructional use case, draft a simple assistant blueprint, test it with student-facing prompts, and revise it using a brief accuracy and alignment check. To follow this workshop, participants need a free OpenAI ChatGPT or a ChatGPT 5.5 ($20/month) account. Simply visit the site , sign up using an email address, and log in. Since it is billed monthly, participants can cancel their subscription at any time post-training if they no longer need it.
