ChatGPT is a conversational AI system that uses natural language processing techniques to generate human-like text. Since its release to the public, ChatGPT has brought unprecedented attention to the capabilities of generative AI. However, the ethical implications of ChatGPT in education immediately came to the fore. As the use of ChatGPT becomes more ubiquitous, there is a need for awareness and dialogue across the UIC teaching community. How can ChatGPT be used effectively for teaching and learning? At the same time, how can instructors discourage or prevent unauthorized use of ChatGPT in their classrooms?
This discussion is CATE’s first step in building a community of practice among campus stakeholders and supporting an ongoing conversation across UIC’s teaching and learning community. We invite you to come listen and share your experiences and perspectives on ChatGPT in the classroom.
Topics covered will include:
- Overview of ChatGPT and its capabilities in higher education
- Approaches to developing AI usage policies and syllabus statements
- Best practices for effectively Integrating ChatGPT into your curriculum
