Copilot is the term that Microsoft uses for its AI tools and services. This can be a little confusing, given the various products using similar names (GitHub Copilot, Microsoft Copilot Pro, Copilot for Microsoft 365, Copilot for Finance, Copilot for Power Platform, Copilot for Sales, Copilot for Security, Copilot for Service, etc.). Microsoft Copilot Chat is a free service that provides access to GPT and image generation models.

As a member of the DePaul community, you're responsible for keeping student data secure. Under FERPA (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) and according to DePaul policies, any personally identifiable information (PII) stored on network or cloud drives must be accessible only to authorized users and must only be stored in DePaul-authorized services.

For a helpful guide on how data and access is categorized at DePaul, please refer to the Security Classifications & Controls Matrix for Highly Sensitive, Sensitive, Internal Restricted, and Internal Non-Restricted Covered Data document.

For this reason, many of your day-to-day functions at DePaul require that you login to services with your BlueKey credentials. When you do so, you are accessing services that are encrypted and secure.

There is only one Large Language Model (LLM) that requires your DePaul BlueKey credentials for secure use:

Copilot Chat

Please note: Copilot Chat was previously known as Copilot with Enterprise Data Protection, Copilot With Commercial Data Protection, and Bing Chat

This version of Copilot has these important features:

• Protected and encrypted chats
• Documents are saved to your DePaul OneDrive
• Conversations are not used to train foundation models
• Powered by OpenAI's GPT-4o models
• Image creation powered by OpenAI's models

Copilot Chat is thus the default LLM that faculty, staff, and students should use. Exceptions are naturally granted for research, teaching, and official college business with relevant approval.

However, you should still be cautious of what data is used with Copilot Chat. Anonymization of data to protect the privacy of individuals is always recommended. DePaul personally identifiable information (PII), internal-restricted, sensitive, or highly sensitive data should never be uploaded to external LLMs.

Copilot Chat is available to anyone at DePaul with BlueKey credentials. Here are two common ways to access:

1. Via DePaul Microsoft Outlook
• In Outlook's left hand nav bar, click the Copilot icon
2. Via the Microsoft Edge Web Browser
• Open Edge (download at microsoft.com/edge if needed)
• Click your Profile icon → Sign in
• Enter your BlueKey credentials (work account)
• Look for the green shield icon (Enterprise Data Protection)
• Go to copilot.microsoft.com (bookmark it)

In September, 2024, Microsoft started retiring Copilot With Commercial Data Protection and replacing this service with the new Microsoft Copilot with Enterprise Data Protection. This has changed the additional protections that were highlighted on this page.

Summarization

Imagine you are an expert and helpful assistant who specializes in the creation of document summaries. Compose detailed notes from this document. Ensure accuracy and clarity in the notes to facilitate seamless follow-up and reference for all stakeholders, such as key points, decisions, and action items. Summarize this PDF.

Class Review

Imagine you’re a professional transcriber, who specializes in accurate and helpful notes that improve student learning and instructor proficiency. Please transcribe a detailed summary from a provided transcript of DePaul University's 'AI in Marketing: Week 1' HyFlex class, taught by James Moore. The transcript includes discussions from both in-classroom participants (labeled 'Loop - DPC - 6302:') and remote attendees via Zoom (identified by their names). Your task is to:

1. Summarize key points - Offer a detailed, verbose summary of the main discussions, highlighting significant insights on AI in Marketing.
2. dentify questions and confusion - Clearly note any questions raised by students or points of confusion regarding the material discussed.
3. Suggest areas for clarification - Indicate topics or discussions that may benefit from further explanation or clarification in future sessions.
4. Provide a concise TL;DR - Include a brief summary at the beginning for a quick overview of the session's content, student participation, and outcomes.

Ensure the summary is actionable, aiding in both student comprehension and instructor insight into areas for course improvement.

Quiz

Imagine you are skilled educator who excels in creating multiple-choice questions for university students. Please create ten multiple-choice questions from the file. For each question, indicate what is the correct answer and why.

Microsoft suggests some example Copilot prompts that you might want to try out:

• Improve the way you study: 'Give me a quiz to see what I remember about enzyme kinetics for biochemistry' or 'If I paste in my syllabus, can you help me develop a study plan?' or 'Ask me questions to help me study for my upcoming computer science exam.'
• Take better and more efficient notes: 'Summarize the latest World Trade Report from the WTO' or 'If I paste in my lecture notes, can you identify the key ideas and give me some mnemonics to help me remember each topic?'
• Improve your writing: 'If I paste in a draft of my essay, can you help me revise it?' or 'Help me brainstorm for an essay on Okun's law for my macroeconomics course.'
• Manage stress: 'How can I track my progress this semester and adjust my plans as needed?' or 'If I list all the things I need to do this week, can you help me break them down into manageable tasks?'
• Focus on your work: 'Ask me questions to help you generate a plan to help me focus this semester' or 'If I give you my schedule this semester, can you suggest ways to help me focus?'
