Customize EDU Prompts and create your own IA app

Microsoft shared a series of curated prompts that can be used for creating lesson plans, Interactive lessons or to help students in your school or university to have a Team reflection support.

You just need to copy them and past them in Copilot to get the IA generated response.

You can find them here GitHub - microsoft/prompts-for-edu

But you'd like to adapt those handy prompts to your institution, adding your mission and vision, your way of teaching and learning or any other personalization that will reflect you school philosophy. And, the most important thing, make it available to your teachers, students, and staff

We will learn today how you can create your own application that, customizing those prompts, will adapt to your institution needs in the most secure, personalized, and compliant way, using Azure OpenAI.

For that, we are going to use Azure OpenAI Studio; a platform that provides a suite of tools for developers to create and deploy AI models. It offers a range of features such as the Chat playground and Completions playground to experiment with models you deploy.

Today we will use the chat playground. (Remember to deploy a GPT model)

Once in the Chat playground we will work with the Assistant Setup.

This is where you can tell the model how to act and what to use as background information when it creates a reply. You can define the assistant's character, set some boundaries for its responses, and specify how to present the output. This section has no token limit, but it will be part of every API request, so it affects the total token limit.

And, here, is where we are going to paste and customize the Edu Prompt of our choice. We will make sure that we use any indicator that will let the model know your teaching and learning methodology.

For this article, I used the Lesson Planner prompt.

And that will be it! (yo have an area "Chat session" to assess the responses of your model

Now we will use the "Deploy to" button to create our app.

Just filling the wizard, we will have our app ready in minutes.

Now, you have a web app that will use the best LLM models and will respond to your institution needs and the only thing to do, thanks to Microsoft Edu prompting repository, is customizing the existing texts to make it yours!
