This project pilots a training system to help students use generative AI (GenAI) effectively in collaborative design contexts. Instead of treating GenAI as a simple answer box for assignments, students will engage in hands-on activities, practicing prompt engineering, critiquing outputs, and applying results to their writing and prototyping tasks. Group projects will feature role-based protocols to distribute GenAI use, simulating professional environments. The project aims to gather evidence on how these protocols enhance student learning and collaboration. Outcomes will include templates, rubrics, and training protocols for industry preparation, with findings shared within the Waterloo teaching community and through conferences and publications.
