Use of prompt engineering in teaching students with disabilities

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the world rapidly; many tasks that humans perform can be performed by robots and machines using AI. Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (GPT) is available for generating responses to user inputs (prompts). The user can chat and interact with the machines using GPT. It is known as prompt engineering. The prompt engineering is the art and science of communicating effectively with AI systems. To fetch relevant and exact information from the GPT engines is also an art, and it depends on the prompt (input) that the user provides to the GPT engine. In this work, we used one of the GPT engines, known as DeepSeek, for prompt engineering to generate simulations for the disabled students (students with hearing and speech impairments) because seeing is believing. The simulation will be beneficial for the students with disabilities and will also be useful for the students without disabilities. We present two examples of simulation from physics: (i) Projectile motion, and (ii) collision of two bodies, which were generated by prompt engineering using the DeepSeek GPT engine. The proper use of prompt engineering will make teaching and learning easier. Similar simulations can be made using prompt engineering as a teaching aid for teaching disabled students.
