Enhancing Your Workflow with ChatGPT

Explore how to build on your foundational ChatGPT Edu skills in this interactive session designed for CSU employees. If you are comfortable with the basics and ready to deepen your practice, this session offers a practical next step. You will learn how to write more structured prompts, adapt AI-generated responses for different audiences, and personalize ChatGPT's tone and behavior using simple instruction settings. The session includes real-world, role-based examples drawn from higher education environments, such as professional emails, policy summaries, procedural documents, and outreach content. Through guided demonstrations and hands-on practice, you will troubleshoot vague responses, refine prompt strategies, and build a personal prompt bank to streamline your academic or administrative responsibilities.
