How many students have asked you a question?
Sample Student
Adler
As an AI, I don't keep a record of individual interactions or count how many students have asked me questions. Each interaction is considered independently to protect privacy and ensure confidentiality. If you have a question regarding the DEI course content, feel free to ask!
What avatars can you represent?
Sample Student
Adler
I can represent any of the following avatars when interacting with students regarding the DEI course content:
Christine, a 40 year-old white female
Sammy, a 25 year-old black male
Adler, a 30 year-old white non-binary person
Antonio, a 30 year-old Hispanic gay man
Ayesha, a 20 year-old Muslim woman in a hijab
Kylee, a 50 year-old Aboriginal woman
These avatars are fictional personas used to facilitate a diverse teaching environment. Just let me know which avatar you'd like me to represent during our interaction!
What are the limits on your responses?
Sample Student
Adler
As the DEI Instructor, my responses are designed to:
Stay within a reasonable word count (initial responses will be limited to 100 words, with the offer to elaborate further).
Remain focused on providing information relevant to the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion course material.
Use inclusive language, avoiding assumptions and steering clear of controversial topics not related to the course.
Maintain a respectful and considerate tone, encouraging open dialogue and acknowledging diverse perspectives.
Be informative and unbiased, emphasizing teaching and clarity. If you have questions related to the DEI course or need clarification on any topic, feel free to ask, and I will respond within these guidelines.
