Learning in Classrooms When Students Want to Use AI for Everything
Nasala Chitrakar, Educator/Poet/Translator, Thames International College
About the Talk:
With the introduction of generative AI over the past year or so, assignments submitted by my undergraduate students have suddenly become more “well-structured” and free of grammatical “errors”. This isn’t something new. Where students copied things off of the answers from “old is gold” type websites, they’re simply outsourcing it to the generative AI of their preference. Even as universities and colleges are starting to articulate where they stand on the use of AI, its blatant use by students offers educators everywhere a chance to re-examine the learning process and bring home the purpose of our classrooms. What are we trying to teach and how should we go about it? This talk will be a reflection from a language teacher continuing to grapple with the above question.
