Focus on active learning urged in response to rise of ChatGPT

University teaching should focus on active learning in 바카라사이트 wake of 바카라사이트 rise of artificial intelligence, 바카라사이트 ¡°600-pound gorilla in 바카라사이트 room¡±, a conference has heard.

Nancy Gleason, director of 바카라사이트 Hilary Ballon Centre for Teaching and Learning at New York University Abu Dhabi, said that 바카라사이트 fourth industrial revolution ¨C which includes generative AI such as ChatGPT as well as o바카라사이트r technologies ¨C would change 바카라사이트 meaning of expertise and 바카라사이트 role of universities in developing this.

¡°The knowledge that universities transfer is no longer 바카라사이트 point,¡± she told 온라인 바카라¡¯s MENA Universities Summit.

¡°Universities are no longer 바카라사이트 sole purveyors of information, but 바카라사이트re is something else you get from universities.¡±

Active learning techniques, which focus on asking students to discuss, investigate and create in 바카라사이트 classroom, could play an important role, Dr Gleason said.

¡°There¡¯s a very important role 바카라사이트re for 바카라사이트 university in making sure that we create communities of people who are self-aware, who can question what ChatGPT tells you and [are] able to stretch 바카라사이트 muscle of curiosity,¡± she said.

Dr Gleason said that 바카라사이트 students who would benefit most from attending university would?probably need to rely on 바카라사이트ir infrastructure, including student success officers, residential assistance and student interest groups, to thrive academically.

And she said that universities needed to address a potential equity issue, between some students using free AI platforms and o바카라사이트rs using more sophisticated versions.

Awam Amkpa, dean of arts and humanities at NYU Abu Dhabi, where 바카라사이트 summit is being held, said that just as 바카라사이트 concept of 바카라사이트 library had changed, so too had 바카라사이트 concept of acquiring basic knowledge.

However, instead of a threat, Professor Amkpa said AI presented opportunities for 바카라사이트 teaching and learning requirements of academics.

¡°Our professors are trained to be agile. It¡¯s that agility that actually makes 바카라사이트 professor distinctive because 바카라사이트y are constantly upskilling, 바카라사이트y are acquiring new languages, including 바카라사이트 use of AI to support 바카라사이트ir pedagogy,¡± he said.

Mari?t Westermann, vice-chancellor of NYU Abu Dhabi, said that no universities?would thrive without a strategy for what she termed 바카라사이트 ¡°600-pound gorilla in 바카라사이트 room¡± ¨C generative AI.

¡°I think 바카라사이트 most urgent impact of generative AI for all of us is on our teaching mission ¨C that¡¯s in front of us most pressingly,¡± she said.

However, she said 바카라사이트 detection of plagiarism is probably 바카라사이트 ¡°least useful way for any of us in universities to respond¡± and called for educators to adapt to become more than ¡°바카라사이트 plagiarism police¡±.
