OPEN will be hosting a virtual training titled "AI Essentials for Research and Evaluation" by Tom Hughes, GSH Education Group. Space is limited to 15 OPEN members.

Join Tom Hughes for a hands-on pilot of his revised AI Essentials for Research & Evaluation course, designed for evaluators and applied researchers who want to use AI tools more mindfully and effectively.

You'll explore:

  • How large language models (LLMs) work and how to use them responsibly
  • Key settings like privacy controls and custom instructions
  • How to craft quality prompts that produce useful, reliable outputs

What we ask of you:

Show up, engage with the activities, and share honest feedback. Come with access to at least one free AI tool — ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini are preferred, as those are what we'll work with directly. Copilot or Perplexity may also work for some activities. Having all three preferred tools is great, but not required.

*OPEN online events are typically not recorded. However, we encourage presenters to share information and resources from their session after the event to everyone who registered in case you were not able to attend.
