Generative AI & RAG FDP

Explore Generative AI, prompt engineering, and document-grounded RAG applications for teaching and research—no programming experience required.

Prepare faculty to understand and responsibly apply Generative AI and large language models in teaching, research, and academic administration. Participants develop practical prompt-engineering skills, learn how Retrieval-Augmented Generation grounds responses in academic documents, and practise evaluating outputs while addressing hallucinations, bias, privacy, copyright, and academic integrity.
