Generative AI Op-Ed Assignment
Students prompt AI to write a 750-word op-ed, conduct a thorough fact-check and critique, and then rewrite the op-ed with accurate sources and improved arguments.
Fact Checking
Meaningful Writing in the Age of Generative Artificial Intelligence
Students examine the music and social media presence of singers that they know well and compare their findings to the responses the ChatGPT provides about the singers.
Teaching Students How to Use AI Responsibly
Students input their old essays into AI tools to receive feedback and learn to discern between good and bad advice. They also learn about paraphrasing versus plagiarism.
Using Character Chatbots in English Class
This assignment allows students to engage with AI-generated characters, providing a dynamic method for exploring and understanding character motivations and behaviors.
Helping Students Check for Bias in AI Outputs
Students ask probing questions of AI outputs to test their validity and reliability.
Collaborative Research with ChatGPT
Students conduct a rhetorical analysis of the outputs generated by ChatGPT, critically evaluating the AI’s responses and the effectiveness of their own writing in eliciting meaningful and accurate information.
Fact-Checking Auto-Generated AI Hype
Students critically evaluate the claims made by AI-generated text, distinguishing between accurate information and exaggerated hype.
AI Literacy Workshop: Ethics and Social Justice
This workshop teaches participants how to recognize and mitigate biases in AI algorithms and data, ensuring fairness in AI systems by addressing issues such as demographic parity and equal opportunity.
Harnessing Pandora’s Box: At the Intersection of Information Literacy and AI
Through six templated lesson plans, this resource covers information literacy and visual literacy. The assignment provides a structured framework for understanding and applying ethical principles in AI usage.
AI & Facial Recognition
The activity addresses biases in facial recognition, particularly how it fails more often on women and people with darker skin. It also discusses the ethical implications and legal responses to surveillance technology, fostering critical thinking and informed discussions among students.
Evaluate: Bias
Students develop critical evaluation skills by assessing AI outputs for biases, assumptions, and stereotypes.
Evaluate: Write a Rebuttal
Students craft a detailed rebuttal to the AI-generated argument, focusing on different aspects such as the scope, conclusions, and missing evidence.
Evaluate: ChatGPT’s Predictions and Extrapolations
Students generate predictions using ChatGPT and critically assess the output. The assignment emphasizes an analytical approach to evaluating hypothetical scenarios generated by ChatGPT. Students must go beyond simple fact-checking and use reasoned analysis to diagnose the plausibility of the predictions.
Evaluate: Hallucinated Sources
Students verify the existence of quoted sources provided by ChatGPT, using the institution’s library website. This activity ensures that students learn to critically assess AI-generated content and confirm its authenticity.
Evaluate: Correctness
The assignment examines the inherent weaknesses of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, emphasizing the importance of not relying on them unquestioningly. It highlights how these models mimic speech without true understanding and can produce convincingly false information.
Critical Assessment and Analysis Exercise
Students compare AI-generated responses to human-written responses, examining differences in style, clarity, and effectiveness.
Transforming Writing Assignments with AI: Approaches for Using Artificial Intelligence for Fostering Student Engagement and Comprehension
Students use AI tools to better comprehend and analyze complex texts, asking AI questions about the texts to deepen their understanding and engagement. Students use AI as a collaborative tool to enhance their own writing process while ensuring their original contribution remains substantial.
