Educational Background

PhD Nursing, University of Calgary, 2019

BN Nursing, University of Calgary, 2004

BSc Biotechnology, University of Lethbridge, 2000

I am a clinician-scientist and trialist who uses mixed methods to explore biological, emotional, and social dimensions of health related to early life exposures and infant feeding. I have a PhD in nursing and I am an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with expertise in maternal-child health, infant feeding, and patient engagement. I completed my PhD in nursing at the University of Calgary, examining maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy and infant feeding outcomes in moderate and late preterm infants. I also completed a three-year post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Manitoba in Dr. Meghan Azad’s THRIVE Discovery Lab, exploring clinical applications of donor human milk for preterm infants. As an Assistant Professor at the University of Calgary, my program of research examines the use of human milk as a clinical intervention to mitigate early life perturbations to the infant microbiome. When I am not researching lactation and human milk, I love to hike, mountain bike, and cross-country ski with my family. 

Participation in university strategic initiatives

Child health and wellness

The DOnor human milk to REpair the full-term infant MIcrobiome (DO-RE-MI) Trial examines the impact of donor human supplementation compared to formula supplementation on the infant microbiome in infants who experience adverse early-life exposures to their gut microbiome.

More Information

My program of research aims to transform healthcare provision to enhance child health outcomes for vulnerable populations, specifically infants who experience adverse early life exposures. I am a nurse scientist specializing in preterm birth, infant nutrition, early life exposures, and family-centered care. I have expertise in mixed methods designs, clinical trials, community engagement, and patient-oriented research. My developing program of research examines the role of infant feeding, specifically the provision of breastmilk and donor human milk, in informing health outcomes for infants who experience vulnerability through adverse early life exposures. I routinely engage clinicians, patients/parents, and policymakers in research to ensure that outcomes are meaningful and understandable to the knowledge user. My program of research bridges existing foundational microbiome evidence with clinical expertise to conduct translational research that will address and remediate the impact of adverse early life exposures on the developing infant microbiome. In the LATCH Lab, we incorporate an intersectional lens to enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion of marginalized populations into this important field of research. I also use a socio-ecological understanding of how the determinants of health interact with the infant (host) and their microbiome. My program of research is unique because I can leverage my nursing expertise with my microbiome training, patient-oriented research, and clinical trial experience, to develop pragmatic clinical interventions that will enhance child health outcomes.

Maximizing learning with effective GenAI prompt writing:

An instructor’s resource for students

Authors: Pletnyova, A., PhD, Anselmo, L., MEd, and Keyhani, M., PhD

As we stand on the edge of AI-driven educational transformation, mastering prompt adaptation paves the way for a future where personalized learning, data-driven insights, and enhanced engagement will be the norm. The ripple effect of this knowledge promises a major shift in how we perceive and interact with AI in education.

Hopkins, 2023

As workplaces start seeing the benefits of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools for productivity, proficiency, and creativity, higher education can play a key role in helping students develop the necessary skills for the successful and responsible use of GenAI (Keyhani et al, 2023). Course instructors can guide their students further towards AI literacy, which is essential for future professionals across diverse disciplines.

Purpose: This resource aims to provide educators with practical strategies on how to help students learn to effectively write GenAI prompts and therefore, develop essential GenAI competencies.

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI)

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI)  refers to machine learning models that generate coherent content. They typically do this by training a “neural network” on vast amounts of previously existing content.

In the context of generative AI, prompting is the process of instructing AI   or, more precisely, it is the skill and practice of writing inputs (“prompts”) for generative models. According to Oppenlaender et al. (2023, p. 1), “prompt engineering is iterative and interactive — a dialogue between humans and AI in an act of co-creation.”

Effective prompt writing

Effective prompt writing supports instructors in designing authentic GenAI-assisted activities and assessments. Learning how to prompt well also provides students with opportunities to develop future-focused skills that they can use during their educational journey and once they enter the workforce. 

Prompting modalities

Although some generative AI models are capable of receiving images and video input, in this resource, we will concentrate on text prompts .

GenAI tools

There are multiple tools built using Generative AI models. For the purposes of this resource, we used the ChatGPT 3.5 tool to provide examples of effective prompts.

How to question AI: Useful prompts for teaching staff when using generative AI

How course instructors can guide students towards AI literacy

Not all students will know instinctively how to use AI tools. Multiple studies have suggested that students are not “digital natives” who grew up in the digital age and are by default tech-savvy (Janschitz & Penker, 2022; Eynon, 2023; Scolari, 2019; Kirschner, & De Bruyckere, 2017; Selwyn, 2009).   

Consider the following steps when preparing students for the use of GenAI in your courses: 

• Include a statement on the use of GenAI in your course outline; 
• Explain to your students the benefits and limitations of GenAI tools for learning; 
• Explain to your students how to write effective GenAI prompts;  
• Provide examples of good prompts; 
• Provide prompt templates for your assignment to students; and 
• Share resources and useful links on the use of GenAI in education. 

Enhancing skills development through effective prompt writing

“Teaching students about AI is essential for developing their digital literacy, and critical thinking skills, and preparing them for future academic and career success” (Bojorquez & Vega, 2023). 

Students learn best through doing, and guiding students to learn how to write effective prompts will support them in learning the skills they need for a successful future. Regardless of the discipline, modelling effective prompt writing may demonstrate the essential skills that students can develop while using GenAI. 

Encourages critical thinking and creativity

Example prompt: Describe a situation where conventional wisdom was challenged and how it led to a new solution. What creative approaches were employed, and what critical thinking skills were necessary to navigate this challenge?

Fosters application of knowledge

Example prompt: Apply the concepts learned in class to analyze a real-life scenario where ethical dilemmas arose. How does the application of these theories help in resolving such dilemmas?

Promotes analysis and evaluation

Example prompt: Evaluate the impact of technological advancements on society's communication methods. Provide examples of positive and negative effects, analyzing their implications.

Supports interdisciplinary connections

Example prompt: Explore the intersections between environmental science and economics in addressing climate change. How can economic principles contribute to sustainable environmental solutions?

Encourages research and synthesis

Example prompt: Analyze an historical event from multiple perspectives and synthesize your findings to create a comprehensive narrative that considers diverse viewpoints.

Enhances communication and collaboration

Example prompt:  Create a collaboration plan for a project with classmates to solve a complex problem in your field. Describe the collaborative process, the potential challenges faced, and how effective communication may contribute to finding a solution.

Crafting effective prompts is a catalyst for honing essential skills, such as critical thinking, knowledge application, analysis, interdisciplinary exploration, prompt research and synthesis, communication and collaboration skills.

Guiding principles of writing effective prompts for GenAI

Lo (2023) discusses five elements of the CLEAR framework which could be adapted for writing effective prompts for GenAI. The CLEAR framework can be used as a “scaffold for devising effective prompts for AI language models, combining precision and creativity, science, and art” (Lo, 2023, p. 208). 

CLEAR stands for: 

C lear L ogical E xplicit A daptive R eflective 

Clear and precise prompts guide the AI model’s understanding leading to a more relevant response. 

Note: Limiting each prompt to one request or question is recommended so as not to overwhelm the tool. Remember it is still just a machine!  

Providing context within prompts helps the AI model create meaningful generated output.

Note: To provide context, try defining the role you would like the AI tool to assume or describe your role or level of knowledge. For example: 

• You are a first-year student of computer science. 
• Act as an expert in programming languages. 
• Assume I am 10 years old. 
• Explain the concept of loops in programming languages. 

Including a specific structure or style in your prompt, may assist the AI model in meeting user expectations in terms of the format and length of the generated responses.

Note: To help you get more accurate results, consider specifying the following in your prompts: 

• Background information related to the topic (what AI can base its response on) 
• Length of response (number of sentences, paragraphs, words, or characters) 
• Format (a list, paragraph, chart)  
• Structure (essay, blog post, poem) 
• Style (formal or informal) 
• Target audience (who this is intended for) 
• Examples (provide an example of what you are looking for) (Workiva, 2023) 

Westling (2023) sums up these details into the following AI prompt formula: [Deliverable specifics] + [Voice] + [Objective] + [Ideal format] 

Experiment with general and then more specific questions or statements to assist the Al model in generating a response that matches the desired output.

Evaluate and improve the accuracy, coherence, and utility of the generated responses. For example, after receiving a final set of responses, tally how many, what kind, and how the prompts were adapted to achieve the desired result

Note: Use the “chain of thought” technique to increase response accuracy, e.g. by using prompts like “Work on this problem step-by-step” or “Are you sure?” (Chen et al, 2023).

Meta-prompting 

Another technique to improve your prompt writing is by using meta-prompting techniques, which can help students determine what they need to learn when they are not sure.  

For example: "I want to learn about computer programming, but I don't know where to start. Can you ask some questions to help you figure out where I need to start and what questions I need to ask first?" 

To learn more:  Meta-Prompting Concept  

Introducing prompt templates to students

To guide students in their use of GenAI tools, consider providing them with a prompt template that they can use.  

Prompt templates are “pre-defined structures or formats that can be filled with specific content, allowing for efficient generation of new prompts” (Maynard, 2023). Instructors may create prompt templates for their students to lead them in their interaction with a GenAI tool.  

Here is an example of a prompt template: ChatGPT Prompt Template for a French Grammar Class   

Prompt templates can be provided at the beginning of the class/semester as an example of how students may lead their “conversation” with GenAI. Gradually, as you help students improve their prompt-generation skills, they may start creating prompts for further assignments on their own.  

Prompt templates are reusable and can be repurposed for different classes and activities. On AI platforms, such as ChatGPT, prompts are saved in chats, so the same template can be viewed and copied into new chats.

More on prompts for different disciplines:

Ai prompt book, genai chatbot prompt library for educators, reflective questions.

Crafting effective prompts is important for guiding students in the GenAI learning process. The following are a few reflective questions to consider based on the CLEAR framework (Lo, 2023) when guiding students to write effective prompts: 

• Clarity: How do clear, precise prompts lead to more relevant AI-generated responses? 
• Logical alignment: What role does contextual information within prompts play in creating meaningful AI outputs? 
• Explicitness: In what ways does structuring prompts with specific styles result in user expectations for format and length? 
• Adaptability: How can the combination of general and specific prompts lead to enhanced AI-generated responses? 
• Reflection: Which methods enable the evaluation and enhancement of accuracy, coherence, and usefulness in AI-generated responses? 

This resource is a starting point for conversations between instructors and students as they begin to use GenAI in their courses. Learning how to write effective GenAI prompts may help students to gain a deeper understanding of course material as they enhance their understanding through clearer more explicit prompts. The more comfortable and experienced students become with prompt writing, the more successful they may be in their courses as they develop key skills needed for their future careers.
