Educators are uprooting classic reading- and writing-based assessments as student use of ChatGPT and related generative AI tools become increasingly common—and effective.
This latest iteration of the generative AI chatbot unlocks enhanced capabilities for schools, including the option to build custom GPTs and improved functionalities such as data analytics and document summarization.
ChatGPT should be discussed as part of international student orientation, and the trick is to introduce the technology in a way that focuses on how to use it correctly.
AI detectors like Turnitin and GPTZero are turning in false positives on students' use of AI, and it is becoming harder and harder for educators to determine how often their students are using the tool.
With an unclear purpose, students' proclivity to lie and emerging technologies that can create better prose out of generative AI text, what are admission offices to do with the college essay?
"People are 100% using AI right now for accreditation writing," says Glenn Phillips, former director of assessment at Howard University. "I know several folks who have ChatGPT open on their browser at all times. They're using it whether you want them to or not."
Many teachers are using the technology to prepare students for a future inevitably accompanied by AI. But few educators have received guidance from administrators on how to do so.
However, firsthand use of generative AI changed administrators' beliefs about the need for regulation. Only 14% of those who use it believe it will negatively affect student learning.
Keeping humans at the center of edtech is the top insight in the federal government's first stab at determining how colleges should teach with AI amid concerns about safety and bias.
