ETUG Spring Workshop 2023 – Day 2.
10. Sue Hellman | ChatGPT: Foe, friend, or
paradigm-shifting challenge
Recorded
June 2, 2023
Technological
innovation comes in 3 flavours: catastrophic (the sky is falling!); sustaining
(helps us do what we’ve always done, but better); or disruptive (what doesn’t
kill us can make us stronger). Education articles about ChatGPT generally take
the first 2 perspectives. Many warn that cheaters will prosper because ChatGPT
is getting better and better at passing typical tests and at generating fakes
that fool many of us a lot of the time. Others suggest we should embrace AI and
use it ourselves to improve our work/life balance or with students as an
‘intelligent’ tutor.
We may not be able to beat ChatGPT at its own game, but we can change the game
by shifting to a flipped classroom model and designing learning experiences
that ChatGPT cannot do. During this hands-on session we’ll dig into how to
redesign activities and assessments to:
- make
space in the learning process for students to use ChatGPT appropriately, and
- devote
precious synchronous/in class time to helping students learn how to engage in
thoughtful synthesis and critical thinking instead of perfecting skills like
compiling information and explaining concepts at which ChatGPT excels.
