The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has made an immediate and lasting impact on the educational landscape.
Concerns about academic resilience amid the proliferation of large language models has been a primary concern for educators, with some worried that AI will become a tool to circumvent — not enhance — learning. But researchers are also exploring how AI can be used by instructors to improve their own performance in certain circumstances.
In a recent study, researchers explored the impact the large language model GPT-3 could have on educators giving feedback to struggling students. Led by Associate Professor Bertrand Schneider and Ph.D. student Gahyun Callie Sung, researchers explored “what tasks AI could and could not do well in an educational context” and provided lessons to support future AI-human partnerships.
The research, based in a graduate…
