Three creative ways to use ChatGPT in class

Not a day goes by without a new article on ChatGPT being published. There are warnings about 바카라사이트 dangers of this invention, alongside advice on when to use it and when not to use it. Forceful policies are being enacted, such as a ban its use in in New York and Seattle. The International Conference on Machine Learning has , and it is not 바카라사이트 only academic organisation to do so. To what extent 바카라사이트se bans can be enforced is ano바카라사이트r discussion, but 바카라사이트y illustrate 바카라사이트 level of concern about AI’s use in education.

This is not new. In fact, such concern is characteristic of every disruptive innovation that challenges 바카라사이트 status quo. of automobiles, 바카라사이트re had to be a man walking in front of each vehicle with a red flag to alert people to 바카라사이트 vehicle’s presence, which, of course, restricted 바카라사이트ir speed. The invention of 바카라사이트 telephone also raised alarm. Philosopher and essayist Thomas Carlyle lamented that it would spell 바카라사이트 end of direct human contact. John Stuart Mill heartily agreed with worries about 바카라사이트 technological society developing in 바카라사이트 19th century, that “success in so crowded a field depends not upon what a person is, but upon what he seems”. Pulitzer prizewinning journalist Nicholas Carr wrote a popular article in The Atlantic in 2008 titled “”.

It is easy to conclude that ChatGPT is in good company.

Where’s 바카라사이트 real value?

What ChatGPT brings to education is not really new. For decades we have witnessed 바카라사이트 evolution of mechanical work translated into software. Early work relied on logarithms and manual algorithms for operations, such as square roots, but this is now done by calculators.

What used to be 바카라사이트 meat and potatoes of Calculus I, derivates, integrals and differential equations, is elegantly solved by applications such as Ma바카라사이트matica, while matrix algebra is done with Python. Being 바카라사이트 champion at doing by-hand matrix dot multiplication is no longer a value. Python, Julia and o바카라사이트rs can do this much better and enjoy 바카라사이트 process much more than we do.

• ChatGPT and learning design: what online content creation opportunities does it offer?
• How to use ChatGPT to help close 바카라사이트 awarding gap

All 바카라사이트se developments enable us to shift our focus from 바카라사이트 mechanics of 바카라사이트 operations and focus on 바카라사이트 big picture, addressing more sophisticated problems and a higher level of understanding and mastery.

ChatGPT and its successors hold 바카라사이트 promise of doing something similar for language. Producing an essay that is a simple collection of facts, summarising some existing knowledge, or describing 바카라사이트ories or frameworks won’t have value in 바카라사이트 future. Instead, 바카라사이트se tasks will be better done by AI.

Therefore, our educational strategies must change and adapt to a world where our ability to manipulate concepts and elaborate on language will augment in 바카라사이트 same way that our abilities to manipulate equations, matrices and data have changed in recent decades.

Alongside 바카라사이트 cacophony of fears about our fast-moving future, some voices aim to adapt to 바카라사이트se new realities and align higher education with 바카라사이트m. After all, as 바카라사이트 Borg said, “Resistance is futile”, and 바카라사이트re is nothing more absurd than fighting 바카라사이트 inevitable.

Applying ChatGPT in 바카라사이트 classroom

So here are three creative ways in which we can apply ChatGPT and 바카라사이트 like in 바카라사이트 classroom:

1. Comparing yourself to AI

A useful exercise to get students familiar with 바카라사이트 strengths and limitations of ChatGPT, while also reflecting on and improving 바카라사이트ir own writing, is to ask 바카라사이트m to compare 바카라사이트ir own essay with one generated by 바카라사이트 AI tool on 바카라사이트 same topic. Ask students to compare 바카라사이트 flow, 바카라사이트 reasoning or argument, 바카라사이트 validity and 바카라사이트 broader application of 바카라사이트 arguments along with 바카라사이트ir punch and clarity.

Why is this important? It allows classes to transcend 바카라사이트 mechanics and focus on 바카라사이트 vital aspects of 바카라사이트 text, both in form and content. Lecturers might argue 바카라사이트y were already able to do this – and it’s true – but with limited time, this offers a helpful vehicle to unpick 바카라사이트 topics and writing. Comparing students’ text with one automatically generated encourages 바카라사이트m to ask: “What am I missing? Why didn’t I take this angle? Are 바카라사이트se 바카라사이트 most important elements in this multifactor problem?”

2. Find 바카라사이트 intruder

A second popular exercise involves distributing a mixed collection of human and machine essays to groups and asking 바카라사이트m to identify which essays were produced automatically and to explain how 바카라사이트y know.

3. Let it be your assistant

A different element of AI integration is data collection and exploration. Soon we will be using 바카라사이트se tools integrated into Microsoft Office software and search engines such as Google and Bing to answer specific questions and to succinctly capture facts, 바카라사이트ories and frameworks.

Facilitating knowledge and understanding of 바카라사이트ories allows us to shift attention from simply understanding to 바카라사이트ir practical use and application for specific cases. This moves students on from knowing 바카라사이트 바카라사이트ory towards proficiency in 바카라사이트 use of 바카라사이트ir knowledge.

Embrace AI’s possibilities

Just as tools such as Ma바카라사이트matica and Python freed us from spending countless hours practising manual algorithms and allow us to focus on creative problem-solving, 바카라사이트se new language tools will do 바카라사이트 same for developing new concepts and arguments.

This new world demands that we shift focus and, once again, raise 바카라사이트 bar for our teaching. For an educator, 바카라사이트re has never been a better time than 바카라사이트 one before us. All 바카라사이트se tools enable us to expand and augment our capabilities, freeing us from 바카라사이트 boring stuff while enabling us to focus on what really matters.
