Generative Artificial Intelligence: Guidelines for Educators
National Academic Integrity Network, September 2023
These Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) Guidelines for Educators have been developed by the NAIN Working Group as a response to the swiftly evolving and developing field of GenAI and the challenges that it may pose for academic integrity to educators and their students.
3 ways to use ChatGPT to help students learn – and not cheat
The Conversation, June 6, 2023
We believe teachers can use ChatGPT to increase their students’ motivation for learning and actually prevent cheating. Here are three strategies for doing that.
AI in Higher Education: The Librarians’ Perspectives
Helper Systems, March 2023
To explore the new reality that AI brings to higher education, Helper Systems...hosted a survey of more than 125 academic librarians in the United States. The survey was created using SurveyMonkey and was delivered to librarians via email.

This is a roundtable discussion. We start with a brief overview of AI in education to set the stage, followed by a discussion with our subject-matter experts on various topics submitted by fellow educators on AI in the classroom. Oct 3, 2023

Practical AI for Instructors and Students Part 1: Introduction to AI for Teachers and Students

In this introduction, Wharton Interactive's Faculty Director Ethan Mollick and Director of Pedagogy Lilach Mollick provide an overview of how large language models (LLMs) work and explain how this latest generation of models has impacted how we work and how we learn.

ChatGPT: What should assessment look like now? April 25, 2023
"The final webinar in our series on the implications of ChatGPT in higher education discusses key questions such as:
How do you design assessments now that students can use ChatGPT?
What does ‘innovative authentic assessment’ mean?
Joining us on the panel are Dr Jan McArthur from Lancaster University; Matthew Glanville from the International Baccalaureate; Dr Thomas Lancaster from Imperial College London; and George Bryant-Aird from Edge Hill University."

The Real Danger Of ChatGPT, Dec 30, 2022
"Language is how human beings understand themselves and the world but writing is how we understand uniquely. Not to write is to live according to the language of others or worse, to live through edits tweaks and embellishments to language generated by an overconfident AI chatbot."

Designed for AI enthusiasts and newcomers alike, this video offers a comprehensive guide on mastering ChatGPT, the cutting-edge product of OpenAI's GPT-4 technology. We unravel 32 invaluable tips that will transform you from a novice to a pro in no time.

ChatGPT: Bullshit spewer or the end of traditional assessments in higher education?
J. Applied Learning & Teaching, Jan 24, 2023
Open-Web, Full-text
Abstract: In this article, we briefly tell the story of OpenAI, the organisation behind ChatGPT. We highlight the fundamental change from a not-for-profit organisation to a commercial business model. In terms of our methods, we conducted an extensive literature review and experimented with this artificial intelligence (AI) software. Our literature review shows our review to be amongst the first peer-reviewed academic journal articles to explore ChatGPT and its relevance for higher education (especially assessment, learning and teaching). After a description of ChatGPT’s functionality and a summary of its strengths and limitations, we focus on the technology’s implications for higher education and discuss what is the future of learning, teaching and assessment in higher education in the context of AI chatbots such as ChatGPT. We position ChatGPT in the context of current Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIEd) research, discuss student-facing, teacher-facing and system-facing applications, and analyse opportunities and threats. We conclude the article with recommendations for students, teachers and higher education institutions. Many of them focus on assessment.
Chatting and Cheating. Ensuring academic integrity in the era of ChatGPT
EdArXiv, Jan 10, 2023
Open-Web, Full-Text
Abstract: "The use of artificial intelligence in academia is a hot topic in the education field. The use of chatAPIs and GPT-3 in higher education has the potential to offer a range of benefits, including increased student engagement, collaboration, and accessibility. However, these tools also raise a number of challenges and concerns, particularly in relation to academic honesty and plagiarism. This paper examines the opportunities and challenges of using chatAPIs and GPT-3 in higher education, with a focus on the potential risks and rewards of these tools and the ways in which universities can address the challenges they pose. The paper discusses the main features and capabilities of chatAPIs and GPT-3 and provides examples of their use in higher education. It also considers the potential for these tools to be used for academic dishonesty and the difficulties of detecting and preventing such abuses. Finally, the paper suggests a range of strategies that universities can adopt to ensure that chatAPIs and GPT-3 are used ethically and responsibly, including developing policies and procedures, providing training and support, and using a variety of methods to detect and prevent cheating."
Educational Research and AI-Generated Writing: Confronting the Coming Tsunami
EdArXiv, Jan 10, 2023
Open-Web, Full-Text
Abstract: "The public release and surprising capacity of ChatGPT has brought AI-enabled text generation into the forefront for educators and academics. ChatGPT and similar text generation tools raise numerous questions for educational practitioners, policymakers, and researchers. We begin by first describing what large language models are and how they function, and then situate them in the history of technology’s complex interrelationship with literacy, cognition, and education. Finally, we discuss implications for the field."
The Death of the Short-Form Physics Essay in the Coming AI Revolution
Cornell University, Dec 22, 2022
Open-Web, Full-Text
Abstract: "The latest AI language modules can produce original, high quality full short-form (300-word) Physics essays within seconds. These technologies such as ChatGPT and davinci-003 are freely available to anyone with an internet connection. In this work, we present evidence of AI generated short-form essays achieving first-class grades on an essay writing assessment from an accredited, current university Physics module. The assessment requires students answer five open-ended questions with a short, 300-word essay each. Fifty AI answers were generated to create ten submissions that were independently marked by five separate markers. The AI generated submissions achieved an average mark of 71±2%, in strong agreement with the current module average of 71±5. A typical AI submission would therefore most-likely be awarded a First Class, the highest classification available at UK universities. Plagiarism detection software returned a plagiarism score between 2±1% (Grammarly) and 7±2% (TurnitIn). We argue that these results indicate that current AI MLPs represent a significant threat to the fidelity of short-form essays as an assessment method in Physics courses."
ChatGPT: The End of Online Exam Integrity?
Cornell University, Dec 20, 2022
Open-Web, Full-Text
Abstract: "This study evaluated the ability of ChatGPT, a recently developed artificial intelligence (AI) agent, to perform high-level cognitive tasks and produce text that is indistinguishable from human-generated text. This capacity raises concerns about the potential use of ChatGPT as a tool for academic misconduct in online exams. The study found that ChatGPT is capable of exhibiting critical thinking skills and generating highly realistic text with minimal input, making it a potential threat to the integrity of online exams, particularly in tertiary education settings where such exams are becoming more prevalent. Returning to invigilated and oral exams could form part of the solution, while using advanced proctoring techniques and AI-text output detectors may be effective in addressing this issue, they are not likely to be foolproof solutions. Further research is needed to fully understand the implications of large language models like ChatGPT and to devise strategies for combating the risk of cheating using these tools. It is crucial for educators and institutions to be aware of the possibility of ChatGPT being used for cheating and to investigate measures to address it in order to maintain the fairness and validity of online exams for all students."
