AI & School Response
I have been toying with the idea for a while now, of trying to together a visual that represents schools' responses to #ai. However, I have found that when I have actually attempted this, it is very difficult as:
I am constantly ill at ease with whether I am representing what should happen/have happened or what is actually happening/has actually happened
The rapidly evolving nature of AI, the disruptive effects on #education, #schools and responses to these, create an extremely fluid landscape that is difficult to represent accurately and without context
Nations, states, education authorities, exam and assessment boards widely differ in their responses to AI and these have a major influence as do other political factors in a schools' response
However, I have put tried to put down some major points to reinforce various things I have said on podcasts, webinars and comments on others' posts during the first half of this year. See what you think:
Short Term
ASSESSMENT AUDIT/REDESIGN -Audit existing assessments to identify tasks that can easily be plagiarised using AI. Remove/edit/replace tasks
PROFESSIONAL LEARNING - Establish foundation knowledge, skills and confidence in teaching staff. Experiment, collaborate and share knowledge within school and wider educational communities
ADMINISTRATIVE IMPROVEMENTS -
CONSULTANCY & DEVELOPMENT - Consult with students and teachers on appropriate and safe use. Communicate with community. Develop policies/strategies to deal with suspected plagiarism
Medium Term
POLICIES & STRATEGIES - Publish and refine policies/strategies to deal with suspected plagiarism
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES - Incorporate exam board/awarding body policies/guidelines
FURTHER PROFESSIONAL LEARNING - Share knowledge, use cases and lessons learned. Refine practices and deepen understanding of technology and it’s applications
TECHNOLOGY TEACHING – Provide education on how the technology works, ethical issues, tools available, effective and safe use
RESPONSIBLE USE – Provide education on responsible use of the technology by students (school-wide and discipline specific)
PEDAGOGY RE-EVALUATION - Consider changes to pedagogy and practice to immerse students in #aieducation
Long Term
Who knows!!??!!
