Individually students write one multiple choice exam question and ask text-generating AI to write a second. In a larger group, students analyze which submitted questions are AI-written, which are human-written, and evaluate which provide a better assessment of learning.

Discipline: Multidisciplinary
Analyze AI Perspectives
The instructor asks the text-generating AI to respond to a prompt as a specific person – e.g., a historical figure. Students then critique the AI’s response, drawing on their interpretation of the person’s perspective. Image: Midjourney “Perspectives –no person”
Evaluate AI Output
The instructor uses AI to generate work, like a thesis, short analytical paper, theater dialogue, computer code, image, or even musical composition. In groups students analyze the sample work created by AI, with particular attention to evidence, sources, perceived bias, or other important elements for your course. Students can then revise it for improvement in […]
Predict Where AI Excels
Individually students construct one question or prompt on a specific topic that they think text-generating AI can respond to successfully, and another prompt or question they think AI responds to unsuccessfully. In a larger group, students share their work to identify characteristics of prompts to which AI struggles to respond. Image: Midjourney “Predict –no person”
Ask 20 Questions of AI
In small groups, students collaborate to write 20 questions for a text-generating AI about how it works. In a larger group, they consider what the AI’s responses mean for academic integrity, authority, validity, trust, or other important ideas in your course. Image: Midjourney “20 Questions”
Artificial Intelligence: Ethics & Societal Challenges
This four-week course explores ethical and societal aspects of the increasing use of artificial intelligent technologies (AI). Image: Midjourney “Ethics –no person”
Socially Annotate OpenAI’s privacy and service Terms
Use an annotation tool like Hypothesis to have students read and comment upon the TOS of a chatbot like ChatGPT. Do this before you ever ask them to use one of these tools as a way of interrogating what is happening with our data when we engage with generative AI. Image: Midjourney “Annotation –no person”
AI Ethics: Fostering Digital Literacies
This technique helps students to critically reflect on digital technology and its use in education/for study. Image: Midjourney “Digital Literacy –no person”
Poetry Feedback
This idea explores use of AI feedback poetry to engage students with the feedback they receive and give in new ways. Image: Midjourney “Poetry –no person”
