1. Answer questions
ChatGPT can be used to answer questions in real time, making it a useful tool for students who need to get information quickly.
In this sense, ChatGPT can be used not only as an AI teaching assistant for teachers, but also as an AI learning companion for students.
For example. A student can ask: "What is the capital of France?" ChatGPT will answer: "The capital of France is Paris."
2. Thesis writing help
ChatGPT can help students write papers, suggest topics, outline structure, provide ideas, and provide help and suggestions for improvement.
For example. Students can ask for help writing an essay about the environment, and ChatGPT can provide suggestions for essay statements and potential topics for body paragraphs. After that, on this basis, students can combine their own thoughts and viewpoints to complete the article.
Of course, in the past two months or so, ChatGPT has worried many educators and local education administrations around the world the most, and it is precisely this place. Therefore, many local education administrations in many countries prohibit students from using ChatGPT in schools.
3. Generation of learning materials
ChatGPT can generate study materials such as summaries, flashcards and quizzes to help students review and study course materials.
For example. Students can request a summary of a chapter in a textbook, and ChatGPT can generate a concise and easy-to-understand summary of key points.

5. Conversation practice
ChatGPT can be used for language learning, providing conversation practice with a virtual language tutor.
For example. A student learning Chinese can use ChatGPT to practice Chinese to improve their conversation skills.
This application can be said to be the best thing for large-scale language model chatbots such as ChatGPT, and this kind of dialogue practice is the most conducive to students learning real and transferable language skills.
In the past few years, in English classes in many places in China, students used iFLYTEK's Xiaofei, which is actually a similar practical application case.
6. Game-based learning
ChatGPT can be integrated into educational games to provide an engaging and interactive learning experience.
For example. A history-based game, ChatGPT can provide clues and hints to help players solve puzzles and complete challenges.
In this regard, the challenge to teachers' instructional design ability is very great.
Of course, teachers can also use ChatGPT to assist teachers in designing this game that integrates ChatGPT around the theme of history. For example, the historical background related to the Normandy landings.
7. Support students' research learning
ChatGPT can assist students with research projects by suggesting information sources, search strategies, and other resources.
ChatGPT can play an important role in research-based learning, project-based learning, problem-oriented learning, and topic-based inquiry learning in colleges and universities.
For example. Students can ask ChatGPT for help researching a topic and receive suggestions for sources, search strategies and resources for further information.
A student who is writing a research paper on climate change can ask ChatGPT for information on the topic and receive a list of relevant sources for easy reference.
8. Creative writing assistance
ChatGPT can assist creative writing by generating ideas, suggestions for improvement, and feedback on written work. ChatGPT can also provide students with feedback on written work, including suggestions for improvement, grammar corrections, and structural suggestions.
This blog post was actually done with the assistance of a chatbot! Many of the ideas for teaching applications and some examples of practical teaching applications are provided by chatbots, which were modified and perfected by Mr. Zizhudi on this basis. Likewise, our students can do the same.
For example. Students can submit a draft essay to ChatGPT and receive feedback on writing style, organization, and grammar. Students can ask ChatGPT to help them write a poem and receive rhyming word suggestions and ideas for expanding the poem. Afterwards, students will improve, revise, and polish on this basis, and even return to ChatGPT after they have completed it, asking them to further review, polish, and modify.
Repeatedly, students complete their creative writing with the assistance of ChatGPT.
9. Generation of assessment and assessment quizzes

The function and practical application of this aspect are really a piece of cake for ChatGPT!

For example. Students can ask ChatGPT to listen to their written speeches and receive feedback on their speeches, including suggestions for improvement. Students can participate in virtual debates on current affairs topics with ChatGPT, receiving feedback on their arguments and presentation style.
15. Help to solve problems
ChatGPT can help students solve problems, providing step-by-step instructions, strategic advice, and tips.
For example. Students can ask ChatGPT for help with a difficult math problem and get guidance on how to approach and solve the problem.
When students complete the homework assigned by the teacher, they are in research study, and in their own projects and tasks, students can use ChatGPT as their own research assistant and academic advisor, and get help, guidance and advice for solving specific problems.
16. Class discussion
ChatGPT can provide a platform for students to share ideas and opinions in real time, thereby facilitating online classroom discussions.
For example. Teachers can use ChatGPT to facilitate class discussions on current affairs topics, and students can ask questions and share opinions.

For example. Students can ask ChatGPT about careers in engineering and receive a list of potential careers, job requirements and resources for further information.
In the past few years, China has attached great importance to students' career education. In the era of artificial intelligence, career education has become extremely difficult, because the workplace changes too fast. Many jobs and occupations are rapidly being replaced by robots and artificial intelligence, and more and more new occupations are emerging.
It is really a good application to apply large-scale language models and chat robots such as ChatGPT to students' career education and career guidance!
19. Time management assistance
