MSU has a special agreement with OpenAI that ensures your FERPA and intellectual property data are protected. This makes ChatGPT a safer, more reliable option for faculty exploring ways to use AI in their work.

What are some quick ways GPT EDU can help with everyday teaching tasks?

With MSU ChatGPT EDU, you can rapidly generate practice questions, draft rubrics, or create accessible course materials, helping you save time while keeping content aligned to your teaching goals. See the Chatbots for University Educators card in the AI Starter Kit for more.

Is there an easy way to reuse and share prompts I use often?

Yes! With ChatGPT, you can create custom GPTs, a feature that lets you save and reuse your favorite prompts (especially long or detailed ones). You can even share these GPTs with colleagues.

What are some ways to redesign assignments so they’re AI-friendly?

• Having students submit prompt history with their work.

• Adding a short reflection on AI use.

• Critiquing or improving AI-generated drafts.

• Breaking work into steps (outline → draft → revision).

• Requiring personal context or data AI can’t provide.

Why would I purchase MSU ChatGPT over the regular commercial version of ChatGPT?

MSU ChatGPT offers IP and FERPA protections for you data and it costs the same as a commercial ChatGPT paid subscription. See the MSU IT page on GenAI for more info.

Is there a community or good resource for learning how to use ChatGPT in higher education?

Yes. I recommend the OpenAI Higher Education Academy. It offers excellent resources, examples, and guidance specifically designed for higher education (and beyond).
