AI in the classroom

Categories
Lifestyle

Because of the explosion of AI, educators have to rethink how they’ll teach courses this fall from Writing 101 to computer science. As an.educator myself, I want to embrace the technology’s potential to teach and learn in new ways. The issue is when you have to assess students, there's a need to “ChatGPT-proof” test questions and assignments.

 

Could this mean a return to paper exams? Some professors will be requiring students to show editing history and drafts to prove their thought process. Other instructors are less concerned. Some students have always found ways to cheat, they say, and this is just the latest option.

 

I'm not sure what I will be doing. Maybe teaching them how to properly use AI :-)

How do we know who wrote this blog?

There always seems to be a way to cheat. This will be interesting to see how it pans out.

Go back to paper, plenty people could use some work on their penmanship!

AI is no different than
- the typewriter
- transistor radio
- portable calculator
- word processor
- spreadsheets
- internet
- Google
- Wikipedia
- youtube

Each new technology has
- people who decry it's the END OF CIVILIZATION
- others who proclaim IT'S THE PENULTIMATE HUMAN ACCOMPLISHMENT

and then there are those of us who live by:
- no technology is 100% bad or 100% evil
- THE STREET WILL FIND USES OF IT'S OWN
- all futurists and prognosticators are liars
- Education & workplace would will adopt the technology in fits & starts

And each progress INCREASES QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE MAJORITY OF HUMANITY
Raj Goel

Hey @rosalia, I'm looking forward to your handwritten invites to Gotham Events

DAN - how is using technology cheating?
Is a LED light at night cheating?
Is using a PRINTER or PHOTOCOPIER cheating?
Shelley Simpson

How do we know who wrote the responses, Fred? As one would expect, Mitch has the answer - teach people who to use AI in a way that works for them, benefits the people they serve, and is respectful of the rights and dignity of others. I can't wait to see the syllabus. I might even sign up for the class. And this post was from the brain of and composed by SSimpson.
