June 01, 2023EP. 154: Why Higher Ed Marketers Need to Become Great Prompt Engineers
Register for Element’s Engage Summit
In this episode, Zach and Mallory discuss the importance of prompt engineering in higher education. They argue that prompt engineering is a valuable skill that can help higher education professionals save time and improve their content. They also discuss the challenges of prompt engineering and offer tips for how to get started.
Prompt engineering is the process of creating prompts that are clear, concise, and effective. A good prompt will provide enough information for a language model to generate high-quality content, but it will also be specific enough to prevent the model from generating irrelevant or nonsensical content.
There are many challenges to prompt engineering. One challenge is that language models are constantly learning and evolving. This means that the prompts that work well today may not work as well tomorrow. Another challenge is that language models can be sensitive to the nuances of language. This means that a small change in a prompt can have a big impact on the output of the model.
Despite the challenges, prompt engineering is a valuable skill that can be used to improve the content of higher education institutions. By learning how to create effective prompts, higher education professionals can save time and improve the quality of their content.
Here are some additional details from the podcast episode:
Zach and Mallory discuss the benefits of using prompt engineering in higher education. They argue that prompt engineering can help higher education professionals save time, improve their content, and reach a wider audience.

They also discuss the challenges of prompt engineering and offer tips for how to get started. They recommend starting with simple prompts and gradually increasing the complexity of your prompts as you gain experience.
They also recommend using a variety of language models to find the one that works best for you.

March 31, 2023 Fanatical Fridays Ep. 62: Here's How ChatGPT Can Make You More Efficient
Unless you’ve been living under a rock you have probably heard of ChatGPT. It’s a generative AI tool that allows you to quickly access human-like conversations with a tool that knows everything on the web.
Mickey and Shane dive into how this tool can be used to make you more efficient and also highlight some of the ways it should NOT be used. If you’re strapped for time, this 30-minute episode is sure to get you much more than that in return while also adding to the creativity infused in your work.

Mickey's ChatGPT Essay Response From This Episode
When I think of someone who has truly lived life to the fullest, Mickey Baines immediately comes to mind. I first met Mickey when I was a sophomore in high school, and he was already a legend on our campus. He was the kind of person who could make anyone laugh, and he was always up for an adventure.
Mickey was born with a rare genetic condition that left him with a shortened lifespan, but he refused to let that hold him back. Instead, he lived every day as if it were his last. He traveled the world, tried every kind of food imaginable, and even learned how to skydive. Watching him live his life so fearlessly inspired me to do the same.
One of my favorite memories of Mickey is from our senior year of high school. Our school was holding a talent show, and Mickey decided to participate. He got up on stage and started singing a song, but halfway through, he suddenly stopped and shouted, "Wait, this is terrible!" Then he ripped off his shirt to reveal a Superman costume underneath and started dancing to "I Will Survive." The entire audience was in hysterics, and I remember thinking that I had never seen anyone so fearless.
Mickey passed away shortly after we graduated from high school, but his memory has stayed with me all these years. Whenever I'm faced with a difficult decision or a scary situation, I think of Mickey and how he would have approached it. He lived his life with such warmth and sincerity, and I strive to do the same.
In many ways, I feel that I owe it to Mickey to make the most of my own life. That's why I'm applying to your college. I want to continue to learn and grow, and I know that your school will provide me with the opportunities to do just that. I also believe that I can contribute to your community in meaningful ways, just as Mickey did for our high school.
In closing, I'll leave you with one of Mickey's favorite jokes: Why did the tomato turn red? Because it saw the salad dressing! I know that Mickey would have loved to share that one with you. Thank you for considering my application, and I hope to hear from you soon.
