Sources of information about AI and Academic integrity

Artifical Intelligence (AI) has reached a tipping point for educators. A friend who teaches shared three resources with me after seeing my previous post.

These are the three resources:
  1. We Are Teachers: 
    1. https://www.weareteachers.com/ai-writing-tools-teachers
  2. Inside Higher Ed: 
    1. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2022/10/26/machines-can-craft-essays-how-should-writing-be-taught-now
  3. turnitin (which is a plagiarism checking tool): 
    1. www.turnitin.com/blog/how-teachers-can-prepare-for-ai-based-writing

Most articles suggest that trying to chase the tiger's tail -- that is, trying to catch students "cheating" using AI -- is a fool's game. The technology, not to mention the students' creativity, will stay ahead instructors' efforts.

Some articles suggest changing assessment methods. For example, having students give oral responses to questions. Last semester, I had 103 undergraduate students. I used summative assessments (evaluating whether they read the material) regularly, although the majority of grading was with formative assessments -- assignments used to scaffold learning -- that is, to give feedback to help the students' progress.

Do the math. If I took 10 minutes with each student having them each respond to a question orally, I would need 1,030 minutes = 17 hours each week for oral evaluations.

Another recommendation from the articles I've shared here was to move from online or computer-based assessments to in-class written assessments. This makes more sense to me, and this is what I will try for summative assessments on occassion when I return to Singapore to teach for the University at Buffalo School of Management.

Fortunately, during the coming spring semester, the capstone MBA Strategic Management course I will teach for Daemen University will have fewer students. I will meet with each student weekly online for a combined summative and formative assessment of their learning and progress.
