Description
In a recent study, about 72% of professors in higher education were concerned about AI being used to cheat on assignments and assessments, compared to 58% of K-12 educators. Indeed, many conversations about artificial intelligence in education revolve around whether or not students using the tool is “cheating” or leading students away from academic integrity. Let’s dive deep into how artificial intelligence can impact assignments and assessments, as well as how you can use artificial intelligence to your advantage when you are creating and grading assignments.
