Adapting College Writing for the Age of Large Language Models such as ChatGPT: Some Next Steps for Educators

In this article, educators Anna Mills and Lauren M. E. Goodlad provide tips to educators related to the use and misuse of ChatGPT and other AI-generated text in classrooms.

Article excerpt: "In the long run, we believe, teachers need to help students develop a critical awareness of generative machine models: how they work; why their content is often biased, false, or simplistic; and what their social, intellectual, and environmental implications might be. But that kind of preparation takes time, not least because journalism on this topic is often clickbait-driven, and “AI” discourse tends to be jargony, hype-laden, and conflated with science fiction. (We offer a few solid links below.) In the meantime, the following practices should help to protect academic integrity and student learning. At least some of these practices might also enrich your teaching."

But that kind of preparation takes time, not least because journalism on this topic is often clickbait-driven, and “AI” discourse tends to be jargony, hype-laden, and conflated with science fiction.
