GenAI in the Classroom featuring Christie Bailey

Christie Bailey, RN, PhD, AHN-BC, Nursing, is taking advantage of the latest cutting-edgeChatGPT feature that lets you make your own chat bot, called a “GPT” (for “generative pre-training transformer”). By giving the GPT custom data, including a fictional patient chart, as well as custom instructions for how the GPT should act and respond, she’s using it to create interactive patient case scenarios. When paired with another new feature of ChatGPT–the ability to understand and respond with voice–this would allow students to engage in realistic-sounding oral conversations with a simulated patient.

Christie recommends checking out these recently developed AI tools:

ElevenLabs: Their Generative Voice AI services allow you to convert text to speech as well as speech to speech. The voice generation is very advanced and natural sounding. With speech to speech, you can record your own audio and then replace your voice with a different one from ElevenLab’s large library of voices; the AI generated voice preserves your tone, inflection, and pacing. You can also “clone” your own voice, and use text to speech to create instant audio recordings of your written material in your own voice without hours of recording and editing. (I am so excited about this, as I love creating audio for the students, but it is so time- and resource-intensive.)

Krea AI: This AI art-creation suite has introduced a feature that converts your own drawings into professional-quality art. Rather than searching for clip art or stock photographs, instructors can turn stick-figure renditions into vibrant images for their course material.
