AI Tools: A Primer…
Summary Insights for Course Integration ► Combining Tools:
► Use ChatGPT or Claude for ideation and draft logic; export to Lucidchart, Gamma, or Visio (Copilot) for polished visuals. ► Research + Validation:
► Perplexity ensures process accuracy with real-time sourcing.
► Workspace Integration:
► Gemini (free tier) lets students work within Google Docs/Slides smoothly, while Copilot leverages MS365 strengths for Visio workflows. ► Costs : ► Most have free or institutional access; only Copilot typically requires an M365 license. Gemini Pro unlocks deeper functionality, but the free tier is functional enough. ► Selecting a Tool: ► There are reportedly over 25k AI tools. This course uses three that are commonly used and that cover different activities. (This is not an endorsement of any single tool or company.)
