Fellow academics:
Strongly consider changing your syllabi now, and designing assignments that can't be fulfilled by #AI chatbots. Even better, consider only assigning work that students will actually be excited to do themselves (for instance, autobiographical essays).
I just got OpenAI to write a better essay on #minstrelsy & US #popmusic than most of my UG students could muster, in about 1 second.
@aramsinn @jeffjarvis I am really interested to see how education changes with the insane amount of technology that is rapidly becoming available. It is long overdue and seems only a matter of time before there is no option left but to have a dramatic shift away from the model used now l, to a more student-led model. Thoughts?
@Davidalewine @aramsinn @jeffjarvis I think we need to seriously reconsider the way we assess students.
I've seen too many assessments that are essentially 'repeat what you were told in the lecture rather than actually asking students to critically think about the material discussed in class...
