Frenemies – Unleashing the power of ChatGPT in assignments and exams

Synopsis

Historically student based academic achievement was contingent on significant work, but what happens with technology at least partially ameliorates this requirement? Widespread availability of Generative AI packages (such as ChatGPT), Contract Assignment Platforms and Substitute Students, each decouple the notion of an individual’s hard work with their scholastic achievement. This presentation explores five, scaffolding assessment designs that are currently being piloted within UNE units. Strategies covering their broader implementation across a range of quantitative and qualitative units are discussed. Lessons learnt and ‘next steps’ are presented. Crucially each is predicated on the readily achievable – if scary – notion that humans and Gen AI can be frenemies.
