AI is really good at the things we're currently testing in MAP tests, SATs, etc. Instead of outhinking AI, let it augment our strengths and focus our efforts on what AI *can't* do. Performance assessments emphasize these human skills. the-harvard-edcast.simplecast.com/episodes/educa…

When we talk about using AI to raise the bar on student critical thinking and assessment, this is exactly the type of thing we are talking about. History professor has Chat-GPT write history essays and students review them. Get creative. reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comm…

The traditional definition of AGI is “what if you had AI that could do pretty much what any average human could do”. I think we’re going to skip right over that and land much closer to “what if you had AI that could do what the 95th percentile in every field can do”.

We have a new paper on how instructors can use ChatGPT and Bing to apply complex pedagogy to their classes, while making their lives easier, too. There are lots of prompts to try out.
