Idea
An educational platform using AI chatbots to teach and assess prompting literacy skills for K-12 students.
Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper introduces an LLM-based module that teaches prompting literacy through interactive, scenario-based practice with AI chatbots. It uniquely evaluates assessment methods, showing True/False and open-ended questions better measure prompting skills than multiple-choice. The approach improves student skills and attitudes toward AI in learning, validated by classroom deployments.
Market Size (TAM)

Research Paper Overview
Learning to Use AI for Learning: How Can We Effectively Teach and Measure Prompting Literacy for K-12 Students?
Summary
This paper presents a Large-Language Model (LLM)-based educational module designed to teach K-12 students prompting literacy through scenario-based practice and interaction with AI chatbots. The study involved classroom deployments evaluating an AI auto-grader, student prompting skills, and assessment materials, finding that True/False and open-ended questions better measure prompting literacy than multiple-choice. Results show improved student skills and positive attitudes towards AI for learning, supporting broader deployment and further study.
