Green background. Text on the left reads: The potential for ChatGPT to get match problems wrong forces conscientious students to use generative AI output critically and always assess its accuracy. To the right of text is a screenshot of handwritten math notes taken on a tablet in black pencil; pink and green highlights emphasize important math steps.

Analyzing an Artificial Intelligence-Supported Assessment and Student Feedback 

In my prior blog post, I summarized lessons learned from piloting an artificial intelligence-supported assessment (AI-SA) and gathering student feedback. This work was framed by Clark and Talbert’s feedback loop model where I used feedback I gathered from students during…

I hoped that students would use my feedback to make changes to how they demonstrate evidence of their learning when ChatGPT is available for their use."

Applying Lessons Learned about Student Use of Generative AI in Academics

In previous blog posts, I shared the results of a focus group interview about students’ perceptions of using generative AI in their academics. The focus group interview took place at the end of fall semester 2023 after my students completed an…

Meaningful Undergraduate Experiences and How They Matter Now

The Center for Engaged Learning periodically conducts surveys on students’ experiences in higher education and their application to students’ post-graduation lives. Our latest iteration surveyed 956 U.S. residents who were 18-34 years old and graduates of two- or four-year higher…

Image of a person's hand holding up a phone displaying OpenAI's website home page, which reads: "Introducing ChatGPT. We've trained a model called ChatGPT which interacts in a conversational way. The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer followup questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests." An accompanying quote from the blog post says the following: "I found these students to be aware of how AI works and knowledgeable of potential benefits to their lives and potential pitfalls to overreliance."

Student-Reported Benefits and Tensions about Generative AI in Academics: Part 1

My ongoing exploration of how generative AI might be used in assessment practices has revealed some benefits to teaching and learning, some drawbacks, and some tensions. Sharing this exploration through these blog posts and having numerous discussions about higher education…

Two women look at computer screen while another is on her own computer. "Students are ready to step up to the challenges of using generative AI if they are provided appropriate guidance”

Utilizing a Framework for Artificial Intelligence-Supported Assessments: Part 2

In December I introduced a framework to support faculty with the complexities of incorporating generative AI into their assessments. One feature of this framework encourages the consideration of separating assessment components into AI-active and AI-inactive sections to better articulate expectations…
