We can think of intentional misuse as an “ethical hacking” approach where students misuse AI in order to expose shortcomings and threats. Image: Midjourney “misuse –no person”
Teaching Topic: Teaching WITH Generative AI
Adaptable, Equal Access
Adaptable, universal access is an essential aspect of modern education, and AI can help bridge the gap between different learning abilities and backgrounds.
Test Prep
By using natural language processing technology, AI tools can analyze student data and provide targeted practice exercises to help students improve their test-taking skills. Image source: Midjourney “test prep –no person”
Rewriting with AI Image Generators
Students use AI image- generation tools such as DALL·E to create images based on their writing, particularly memoirs. Image: Midjourney “Image Generator”
Using QuickDraw & Autodraw to explain AI concepts easily
Use QuickDraw and Autodraw to help students understand how AI learns (QuickDraw), has biases (see Maha Bali’ blogpost on the topic) and can then be used after trained to do something else (Autodraw). Imagine: Midjourney “Abstraction of Quick Draw”
Stylin’ and profilin’
Use AI-generated text to delve into the specifics of literary styles by analyzing its approximation of different authors’ writing. Image: Midjourney “profilin –no person”
Challenging AI’s informational influence
Explore AI’s profound informational, contextual, and emotional influence by analyzing responses to prompts to generate “emotion images.” Image: Midjourney “influence –no person”
AI and authorship, citation practices
Have a conversation with students about whether AI tools can be considered “authors,” and the role of citation in scholarly work. Image: Midjourney “authorship –no person”
Game development with chatbots
Use an AI chatbot such as ChatGPT to assist in the design and development of a hybrid and unique concept computer game Image: Midjourney “Game Development –no person”
Using AI to support student success
Use AI to generate examples for a newly introduced research proposal assessment and have students review and evaluate the examples. Image: Midjourney “Student success –no person”
