The posts draw on research and resources from K-12 and tertiary to suggest ways that educators can design engaging, compelling assessments which shift the narrative away from GAI and "cheating". In a previous post, I talked about the risks associated with trying to "catch" students, such as the ethical issues with detection software, the mistrust created by heavy-handed academic integrity policies, and the […]

Creative but critical: How educators can learn to live with AI

December 2022 represented a step-change in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. With the release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, suddenly the whole world (or at least the millions of users who logged in within a week of its launch) were talking about Large Language Models. LLMs represent just a portion of AI technologies, but ChatGPT shifted the public narrative in ways we hadn’t seen before, even with impressive image generation applications like DALL-E 2 and Midjourney. LLMs are a form of […]
