We’re rolling out custom instructions to give you more control over how ChatGPT responds. Set your preferences, and ChatGPT will keep them in mind for all future conversations.
Tony Parkin's insight:
"ChatGPT will consider your custom instructions for every conversation going forward. The model will consider the instructions every time it responds, so you won’t have to repeat your preferences or information in every conversation. For example, a teacher crafting a lesson plan no longer has to repeat that they're teaching 3rd grade science."

The first study of its kind shows that a tool providing automated feedback improves instructors’ communication practices and student satisfaction.
Tony Parkin's insight:
Course feedback is always useful - and that includes AI-generated feedback!
"The researchers found that, on average, instructors who reviewed their feedback subsequently increased their use of uptake and questioning, with the most significant changes taking place in the third week of the course. Student learning and satisfaction with the course also increased among those whose instructors received feedback, compared with the control group."
