The most recent Ethan Mollick AI blog post includes a table comparing GenAI tools based on his opinion. This article could be useful as an opening discussion generator when teaching students about GenAI tools.

If you are interested in the effect of the adoption of generative AI tools such as ChatBPT and Bing into higher education, and if you are knowledgable about Action Research, would you provide your thoughts on the attached Driver diagram? This is a Action Research Driver diagram (similar to a research Logic Model)*.
​
I plan to conduct the research on the 300-level Project Management course I will teach this coming fall in Singapore for the University at Buffalo School of Management. This is 100% new course prep for me, so I can build the course around the introduction of generative AI tools into the learning goals, content, and assessments, and I can develop the course to follow an Action Research process. I also attached a table contrasting traditional research with Action Research for those not familiar with Action Research. This method is new to me. Advice from those who have conducted Action Research will be helpful.


* "Driver diagrams have some similarities to Logic Models in that they both provide a graphic representation of a theory of change that helps to guide programs and policies. However, driver diagrams work from an existing program and identify one specific goal or aim and generate a specific and focused change idea to implement. Logic models often start from a problem to be addressed and specify several outcomes—short and long term—and then build a program or policy to meet that outcome (Shakman, Bailey, and Breslow, 2017)."

The US Department of Education published a report this month titled: "Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Teaching and Learning."

You can download the full report, as well as a four-page summary of key messages, at the link in this post.

"The U.S. Department of Education Office of Educational Technology’s new policy report, Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Teaching and Learning: Insights and Recommendations, addresses the clear need for sharing knowledge, engaging educators, and refining technology plans and policies for artificial intelligence (AI) use in education. The report describes AI as a rapidly-advancing set of technologies for recognizing patterns in data and automating actions, and guides educators in understanding what these emerging technologies can do to advance educational goals—while evaluating and limiting key risks."

This is an infographic from AI-GPT Insights, a blog that discusses AI chatbot issues. I cannot guarantee that this is completly accurate. The blog has a paywall, but the author posts images on Facebook in the open Chat-GPT Insights group. I sourced this image from Facebook.

Ethan Mollick is a Professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He has become a thought leader on the impact of AI, especialy chatbots, on education. This article shares useful and thoughtful perspectives that affect all of us as educators.

Excerpt:
"But the impact of AI goes beyond just writing. I believe it's inevitable that AI will transform classrooms. It obviously takes on some of the role of instructors, acting as a fantastic tutor and explainer of concepts (as one student told me, "Why raise your hand in class when you can ask ChatGPT a question?"). But by doing this, AI also has the potential to benefit teachers, students, and education as a whole. To understand why, it's important to see why traditional teaching methods, like lectures, aren't that effective, and why their alternatives haven't taken off as quickly as some educators would like."
