    abstract = "LLM-based methods supersede many approaches in NLP at high velocity, making it necessary to adapt curricula. We argue that this effort also presents a chance to integrate LLM chatbots as learning support. We demonstrate (a) how we re-conceptualized an existing class segment on digital assistance systems to discuss LLM-based chatbots, (b) how we created a specialized instructional chatbot as a demonstrator that students could directly use for learning and revision and (c) how students' initial perception of LLM-based AI changed due to instruction."
