3 Solutions to Students Using AI to Cheat

3 Solutions to Students Using AI to Cheat | EdTech: The New Normal | Scoop.it

"After more than a year in the generative AI “evolution”, academic integrity continues to be the number one concern teachers bring up to me in my workshops. I know there are already a lot ideas for “AI-Resistant” assessment out there, but I think it takes a multi-faceted approach to solve the AI as a cheat-bot dilemma. Before we dive into solutions, let us first frame the cheating situation in education."
