The presentation was on student assessment and artificial intelligence. This post includes a video version of the presentation (re-recorded due to technical difficulties live at the conference), the accompanying slides, and a summary of key points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The background to this presentation may be interesting. I submitted the session proposal prior to the release of ChatGPT, intended to show how I&#8217;d worked with technologies, including the GPT-3 model, to produce answers in the style of those required from students. With ChatGPT, more people can do this without any great technical understanding, so <strong>I refocused the presentation a bit to focus on ChatGPT and to suggest ideas about how we could approach assessment in the future<\/strong>. As various other recent posts suggest, there is still no definitive approach that works best, and I believe that discussion will need to happen at individual institutions, at a subject level, and involving students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">The Video<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For my most detailed thoughts about the topic, please do watch the video recording. I go into more depth here than in the version I presented at the conference (which ended up being rather truncated due to the technical challenges &#8211; alas you will not hear the laughter at my jokes).<\/p>\n\n\n<p align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/md2QYjHGE9Q\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">The Slides<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would prefer to scan through the slides, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/ThomasLancaster\/student-assessment-and-artificial-intelligence-exploring-whats-possible-international-center-for-academic-integrity-conference-2023\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/ThomasLancaster\/student-assessment-and-artificial-intelligence-exploring-whats-possible-international-center-for-academic-integrity-conference-2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">see them here on my SlideShare account<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">The Summary<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the presentation, I also talk briefly about how to get ChatGPT to produce a summary of a presentation (I also show how I can produce a press release). <strong>I then asked ChatGPT to summarise the five main take-home messages<\/strong>. Here&#8217;s what I found out from ChatGPT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>AI can be used by students to generate content for assignments, but it can lead to wrong information and academic misconduct.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AI can be a starting point and a time-saver for students if they know how to program and structure the AI syst<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prompt engineering is a significant skill that students need to learn to use AI effectively.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are four approaches universities can take in dealing with AI in academic settings: ignore, ban, embrace, and educate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AI can be used to generate feedback for research papers or writing difficult emails, but it should not be used for assessment as it may not be appropriate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if these would be <em>my<\/em> personal take-home messages, but it&#8217;s interesting to see what resonates with an individual (or an AI)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in a slightly longer summary, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DrLancaster\/status\/1634397519718252545\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">you can find a tweet with more details here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the International Center for Academic Integrity Conference 2023, I discussed student assessment, artificial intelligence and opportunities for the future.
