We integrated EduGPT into the Campus Virtual as a support tool—not a replacement. It has three functions: content creation assistance, question generation for assessment, and administrative task support. In this post we focus only on the first: how to use it to prepare materials, plan units, and design classes.
EduGPT doesn’t replace your planning or pedagogical judgment. It’s an assistant that saves you time on repetitive tasks, so you can dedicate more energy to what only you can do: connect with your students.
What can it do for you in content creation?
- Write clear and precise learning objectives.
- Structure your units: titles, subtopics, logical order.
- Write introductions, study guides, or conceptual explanations.
- Suggest varied activities: group work, debates, workshops.
- Rewrite or adapt content for different levels or formats.
The assessment and administration functions will be covered in future communications.
You don’t start from scratch
One of EduGPT’s advantages is that it doesn’t leave you facing a blank page. If you’re not sure what to ask it, the tool asks you guiding questions: about the topic, your students’ level, whether the course is self-paced or tutor-led, how much time you have available. From there, it builds with you.
EduGPT can’t read your mind. The more information you give it, the better its contribution will be. Here are some key tips:
- Give it context. For example: “I need a virtual class on social media for 1st year students in a journalism technician program.”
- Ask for the format you need: A diagram? Flowing text? A step-by-step sequence?
- Principle: Define the theoretical framework or specific approach.
- Vague instruction: “Prepare a class on social media.”
- Intermediate instruction: Prepare a class on social media for journalists.
- Effective instruction: “Prepare a class on social media for journalism students. First, define what social media is and how it’s used in general. Then, focus specifically on two aspects: what social media contributes to journalism work (source verification, reach, audience interaction) and what obstacles it presents (misinformation, pressure for immediacy, exposure to attacks).”
- Write the way you talk. You can write “send your work by email” instead of using formal language. EduGPT adapts to your register and respects local expressions.
- It’s a conversation, not a single request. If the first response doesn’t convince you, keep the dialogue going: “Make it simpler,” “Add examples from the Argentine context,” “Change the approach.” The tool adjusts as you give it more clues.
- Make it your own. Incorporate real cases from your classroom, close examples, the pace that works with your group. And reload that material so EduGPT takes it into account in future interactions.
- Don’t trust AI citations too much… they often contain serious errors.
Review everything with a critical eye
EduGPT gives you a draft, not a finished product. You’re the one who knows your students, the context, and the disciplinary content. Check facts, verify citations, adjust the tone, and make sure everything makes pedagogical sense.
One last thing
EduGPT can give you a text, a structure, or an idea. But what transforms that material into a learning experience is your knowledge of the group, your pedagogical sensitivity, and your ability to make it your own.
AI writes. You teach.
