ChatGPT... Grammarly... Google Gemini... AI tools have changed student life in the space of just a couple of years. Cheating seems easier than ever before. But it's difficult for schools and universities to determine how widespread use of AI is... and how to deal with it.
A recent University of NSW report found 172 cases of plagiarism and misconduct at UNSW College - that's about one in every 12 students. Many schools have AI guidelines in place, some ask students to refrain from using AI, while others allow the use of AI in specific assignments.
And AI detection tools are imperfect. Meanwhile, students say that monitoring and accusations of AI use can create more stress.
So, how do teachers monitor AI use, while accurately assessing students' work?
