Prompt Library


Welcome to the CITT Prompt Library! This is a curated collection of prompts to help instructors, staff, and students use generative AI tools more intentionally for common instructional and academic tasks. These prompts were created for use with NaviGator Chat. Each prompt is designed to guide a meaningful conversation, please ensure you review all AI output for accuracy before sharing it. Never paste student data, FERPA-covered information, or any personally identifiable information into a public AI tool. This includes Copilot and open data LLMs in NaviGator Chat. If your task involves restricted data of any kind, it is important that you use a restricted LLM in NaviGator Chat. For more information on how to choose a model, visit the NaviGator AI documentation. To learn more about writing prompts for teaching and learning, visit our AI Prompts page.
