Why? |
Treat
the introduction of GenAI into your classroom in the same way
as you would any other eLearning tools, and use frameworks, like Gilly Salmon's
e-tivities, and Diana
Laurillard's Conversational Framework, to manage the process. |
There
is no point trying to reinvent the wheel, there are a number of
excelletn models to assist in the introduction of eLeatning into the
classroom, have a look at them. |
When
teaching about academic writing, citation and referencing; as well as
academic practice and plagiarism, use GenAI as an example of what to
do, and not to do. Communicate clear expectations to learners.
|
GenAI
is a really great tool to explore the meaning of academic fairness, and
the importance of the quality of your sources. Suggested citation
process below. |
Give
the
learners an assignment, and ask them to ask GenAI for the solution to
the assignment. Ask them to submit that as a “first draft”, and then
ask them to rewrite and refine that answer with more detail, and
references.
|
This can be
really helpful for a number of different reasons:
- It
gets the learners understand the weaknesses of GenAI
- It helps their discernment.
|
After
you have finished teaching a topic, get the learners to ask GenAI to
give a summary of that topic. Now, in groups, get them to review the
strengths and weakness of that summary.
- What points did GenAI pick as key?
- What did GenAI leave out?
- Is there any new terminology used?
|
This
can be really helpful
for a number of different reasons:
- It gets the learners working in groups, and
sharing ideas
- It helps them to revise the key points of the
topic
- It helps their discernment.
|
Pick
a
particular topic, and write a summary of it yourself, and ask GenAI
to do a summary also. Give the learners a copy of both, and get them
(in groups) to guess who did which, and look at the strengths and
weaknesses of both. Also reflect on what phrasing and grammar makes it
easy to spot text from GenAI. |
This
can be really helpful
for a number of different reasons:
- It gets the learners understand the weaknesses
of GenAI
- It helps them to revise the key points of the
topic.
- It helps their discernment.
|
Pick
a
particular topic, and ask GenAI to create a quiz around that topic.
Give the learners the quiz, and get them (in groups) to look at the
strengths and weaknesses of the quiz. |
This
can be really helpful
for a number of different reasons:
- It gets the learners understand the weaknesses
of GenAI
- It helps their discernment.
|
Get
the
learners to ask GenAI a question about a particular topic, now get
them to rephrase the same question in two different ways, and check if
GenAI gives the same answer each time.
|
This
helps
the learners understand that slightly rephrasing questions can get
GenAI to give different answers. Get the learners to share their
outcomes with the whole class, because this will work for
some learners, but not others. |
Get
the
learners to ask GenAI questions about a particular topic that you
have taught them, and get them to keep exploring the topic until they
find an incorrect fact, or a bad argument, about the topic from GenAI
(or until they have asked 25 questions). |
This
can be really helpful
for a number of different reasons:
- It gets the learners understand the weaknesses
of GenAI
- It helps their discernment and
judgement.

Bryan Boyle suggests:
"Get the learners to create a ‘case study’ using GenAI, and then
ask them to submit a critique of the generated ‘case study’"
To
help the learners, you could consider creating a Checksheet of the key
characteristics of a case study in your discipline, the
first checksheet on this page, is an example.

This

- It gets the learners understand the weaknesses
of GenAI
- It helps their discernment and
judgement

Waqar Shahid Qureshi highlights the potential benfits
of GenAI in teaching, and notes that when delivering a Computer Vision
course, he "provided students with starter codes and asked them to
experiment with it using images they had to capture themselves, while
also asking them to do reflection on their process in the report".
