Welcome to the 2025 InnovATEBIO series of virtual ATE project talks.  This series features leaders in biotechnology workforce education from across the US sharing their work on exciting projects funded by the National Science Foundation's Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program.  The ATE program supports the education of technicians for the high-technology fields that drive our nation's economy.

Talk 1:  Generative AI Tools for Personalized Learning

NexLAB, introduced on Feb 7, features Generative AI tools for personalized learning known as PAT (Personalized Academic Tutor) and PILOT (Personalized Instructor and Learning Optimization Toolbox). PAT utilizes Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) with large language models such as ChatGPT and Gemini to extract content from various sources like PDFs, text, and PowerPoint files. This enables educators to develop tailored AI tutors for students to enhance their understanding of curriculum material. Within NexLAB, PILOT allows students to create quizzes and study guides based on the content provided by PAT. Furthermore, tools are being created to monitor students' interactions with PAT and PILOT to provide unobtrusive assessment and feedback on the efficacy of the curriculum material. Examples of initial versions of PAT and PILOT as part of NexLAB will be demonstrated in this session.
