Managing the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the classroom

As educators, we all understand the importance of ensuring that students submit their own work and are not cheated of their success by others. However, with the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the classroom, it can be difficult to ensure that students are not cheating on assignments.

Fortunately, there are a number of measures that educators can take to minimise the possibility of cheating while still using AI to their advantage. Here are a few tips to help you manage the use of AI and minimise cheating by students on assignments.

1. Set Clear Guidelines

The first step in preventing cheating is to set clear guidelines about the use of AI and make sure that students understand the expectations. Make sure students are aware that AI-generated work is not permitted and that any work submitted must be their own.

2. Monitor Student Activity

Monitoring student activity through AI can help you identify any potential cheating. AI can be used to detect plagiarism and other signs of cheating, such as copying from other sources. This can help you identify any students who may be cheating and take appropriate action.

3. Use Open-Ended Questions

Using open-ended questions in assignments can help to reduce the possibility of plagiarism. These questions require students to think and provide original answers, making it more difficult to cheat.

4. Use AI to Grade Assignments

AI can be used to grade assignments quickly and accurately, helping to reduce the amount of time and effort required to grade assignments. This also helps to ensure that students are receiving fair feedback and are not being cheated out of their success.

5. Provide Support

Finally, it is important to provide students with the support they need to succeed. Provide resources and guidance to help students understand the material and complete assignments. This way, students are less likely to feel the need to cheat and can focus on learning.

By following these tips, educators help students use the technology appropriately so that they are getting the most out of their education. AI can be a powerful tool in the classroom, but it is important to use it responsibly and ensure that students are using it to support their success.

How do we Build a Culture of Inquiry and Data Use?

School systems have a shared responsibility to improve student learning outcomes. Likewise, for staff there is an obligation to provide extended opportunities to build on what they already know. High quality recording methods that ascertain growth mapped over time can identify trends and highlight threats allowing organisations to predict implications of applying a learning initiative or intervention. This can become complex and messy due to competing agendas and a variety of interpretations. For this reason, organisations have an obligation to develop a fair, ethical and shared understanding how data will be used and interpreted (Stoll & Fink,1996). A strong and user-friendly data system when properly implemented, empowers teachers to discover value in functions that bring student data to their fingertips (Brunner, Fasca, Heinze, Honey, Light, Mandinach & Wexler , 2005). Therefore, teachers require adequate learning support if they are to use data to improve practice

What does a post-industrial class look like? Part 2

This post is the second part of a series that I have been working on to identify what  does a post-industrial class look like? In my previous post , I looked at using video, collaborative discussion, grouping and student-centred learning. Why a large display and one to one? The large electronic display is used as it offers many benefits to a given lesson; these include demonstration and modelling as the teacher could showcase the application or video from the board (Moss, et al, 2007). It is easy to show the important features of particular web-based activities and have students interact with the material on their own devices. The board can accommodate different learning styles (Herrington & Harrington, 2006). Interactive boards can help tactile learners by touching and marking the board. Audio learners can have the class discussion and auditory multimedia, visual learners can see what is taking place as it develops at the board and it offers multimodal learning which can b
