Get Started with ChatGPT and Copilot
ChatGPT is an AI tool that can perform a range of tasks prompted by user input or dialogue.
Microsoft Copilot is built on ChatGPT but works more closely with Microsoft applications including Word, PowerPoint, Teams, and SharePoint.
In this session you will briefly compare the features of paid and unpaid versions of ChatGPT and Copilot. You will then log into unpaid versions of both ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot (web version) to compare their functionality and fit for your practice.

The LD Project Podcast – ‘New Podcast episode: The Learning Development Project x Maha Bali collab: Using GenAI in H
We kick off a new year of conversation in style, thanks to our first guest Maha Bali, Professor of Practice at the American University in Cairo, who generously shares her ideas for and experiences of using generative AI in higher education. We used her paper ‘How do we respond to generative AI in education? Open educational practices give us a framework for an ongoing process‘ as a jumping off point into the waters of transformative teaching and intentionally equitable hospitality and how generative AI might play a part in that. We have no doubt that there will be something here for everyone, regardless of your knowledge of or feelings towards generative AI.
You can listen to all of our previous episodes on our showpage on the ALDinHE website, as well as finding us and subscribing on your preferred podcast platform. Thank you to all of our listeners, old and new!
Happy listening!
