Podcast: Teaching Alongside Generative AI for Student Success
"Since 2022, there's been a surge in the number and types of applications using generative AI, but not all tools are the same. Colby College developed a platform, called Mule Chat, that allows users to explore several large language models, including ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and LLaMA."
"Colby is a small liberal arts college, and they had the vision that this was going to be around for a while. And rather than, as most institutions were doing, sort of keep it at bay or ban it from campus, Colby dove in and wanted to engage with it and understand how it is going to impact education. I spent most of my career in industry, mostly in research and development,"
Since 2022, use of generative AI applications has surged and tools vary in capabilities and appropriate uses. Colby College created Mule Chat to let users compare multiple large language models, including ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and LLaMA, and to provide a safe on-ramp for generative AI adoption. The platform leverages student tutors to share knowledge with peers. The Davis Institute for AI at Colby predates ChatGPT and adopted a pioneering approach by engaging with AI rather than banning it, reflecting the college's vision to understand AI's impact on education.
