At NECC there are professors that are starting to integrate artifical intelligence into the classrooms for the new semesters that are coming up. It is seen that they are trying to implement it in a way that is helpful instead of “cheating” your way out of college.
It’s a way of getting assistance in the right direction of what you are doing in your assignment.
A lot of people can debate that they don’t know where to start or get a lead direction of how to do their assignment. This is a form of direct of help when you don’t have the proper resources at that time.
“AI does have drawbacks when used irresponsibly, but ultimately, that falls on those who choose to use it in that way, they are only harming their own learning. On the other side of things, AI can provide near instant feedback and review work as you are doing it, it is able to provide suggestions and even show you what you are doing wrong”, wrote Kayvon Mains, a staff writer for The American River Current, the student newspaper of American River College, a community college in California.
Students at NECC wouldn’t think this would be a thing that would be happening, but it is something as said to be helpful instead of bringing down the curriculum systems.
Some people may say their excuse is being that they have multiple jobs and still having to go home to take care of their families. Misusing it is the only problem.
“AI can support instruction when used with care. Tools that provide feedback on grammar, summarize dense texts, or generate quiz questions can save time and support learning — if the teacher stays involved. Don’t outsource lesson planning or grading wholesale. Instead, use AI to draft, then edit with your professional judgment. This keeps you in control and models critical use for students,” wrote Adam De Greein an article for Tao.
It is known that AI can mess up a lot of things and can get students in the direction of only depending on that. It can be useful to get an understanding, so you aren’t fully wrong in your response but mis-using it is not the right move.
Some professors are using handwritten tests in other colleges in because they feel students can be abusing AI and aren’t learning as they should be.
AI can also have a dark side and can be a way to get information that isn’t the right idea. Having people ask AI to answer questions can lead to the students getting in trouble.
Will AI be the new teachers or is it ruining society?
This is a question that a lot of people are asking because some teachers and professors are seeing the bright side of AI.
This is all new for us, working together with it is what matters.
““Massachusetts has long been a global leader in both technological innovation and education,” said Gov. Maura Healey in a news release announcing Project Lead The Way (PLTW), Future Ready: AI in the Classroom.
According to the news release, this professional development pilot program will include a $135,000 investment, to support teachers in 45 high school classrooms.
“The pilot is designed to provide high school educators with the tools, knowledge, and network to bring artificial intelligence (AI) into their classrooms,” the news release said.
“With this pilot, we are building on that success, providing our teachers with the skills and tools so they can support the next generation and ensure Massachusetts remains a global leader in applied AI,” said Healey in the news release.
Over time we will see how this takes its toll on some or if it will benefit us.
