Explore the power of AI image generation.  How does the PROMPT you write help you generate the image you want?

Using Firefly, practice writing prompts and refining WHAT you are asking to be generated.

Using the response tab: 

• Create a new presentation
• 3x:  Write your prompt and add the image that was generated (try to refine the prompt and see how more specific wording generates a "better" image)

3 original prompts with 2 revisions and images

***please have separate slide for each original prompt - 3 total images per slide***

Often coming up with the "ideas" for a project or a place to start is a stumbling block.  How can we use AI tools to help us generate ideas, find (create) precedents, and expand our creative thinking?

Use ChatGPT, to generate (original & innovative) ideas and hone your creative thinking skills.

In the response tab, create a presentation that shows the iterative process you are going through to refine your ideas.  Add screenshots of your prompts and the responses from ChatGPT.

***pay attention to the details of the language you are using***

Do some research and see if you can find examples of Artificial Intelligence used for:

1.) Good

2.) Bad

3.) Just plain weird

Post AT LEAST one of each in the Response tab.

Using what we learn through research and precedent finding, can you design an engaging (interactive) installation that helps inform an audience about the impact (positive or negative) of AI on society?

Creating your First Presentation

In this video, we will be talking about creating your very first presentation. We will go over basic navigation to a new presentation, creating new content and finally going over the tools available.  After this post, consider checking out other tutorials, such as the Types of Content tab or check out the master list of Slide Editor Tools to get a more advanced look into the Slide Editor.

What is the NuVu Platform?

The NuVu Platform was created to support student documentation and collaboration. It acts as a digital sketchbook, learning management system, and presentation and portfolio tool.

What makes our platform different is that it is centered on visually-based media and content, and designed specifically for studio-based teaching and learning.

A studio-based teaching environment is highly dynamic, with different phases and parts of projects happening simultaneously and also at their own paces. The platform is a tool that provides a structure for that process while also being flexible. Instructors can clearly communicate the intent and resources of the studio, and students can access and engage with these resources as needed.

Teachers can post assignments, create project folders and generate interactive content for students. Our dynamic studio structure allows for any and all types of learning to be accomplished. The platform is where teachers guide students through the iterative and design based learning process. 

Students can post the progress of their work on regular intervals and the platform allows students to easily share ideas visually and quickly through the upload of images from their phone, which becomes super critical as we all become more adept at virtual teaching and learning. The platform is where students document their process through the posting of sketches, photographs, design research, and writing. Students can collaborate virtually with their classmates, even though they are not in the same physical location. 

The platform also allows for commenting and feedback from coaches, outside reviewers or experts, and student peers. For example if you had a practitioner expert that was on a review panel, they could comment directly on students’ work and provide feedback on the platform. 

Studio culture is an important part of the architecture school experience, and the platform aims to support this culture through the open sharing of work. Students and faculty can see work from any student, or any studio, across the platform, and comment and engage with that work. 

At the end of a project or term, students can use the platform to present their final work. 

This work can also be shared publicly with peers, potential employers, media outlets, or community partners.
