the biggest risk in the use of Chat GPT will be with general education up through undergraduate studies in colleges.
Yes. I agree. And that’s exactly my dilemma. I’m teaching undergrads. I’m teaching subject matter for which extensive online commentary is already available. That means ChatGPT has a lot of source material to draw from.
I would be okay with students using online commentary to help inform their critical assessments of the subject matter.
The problem with ChatGPT is the fact that it can generate coherent content with near zero effort on the part of the student.
One means to address the matter is to require APA formatted essays.
Another, more resource intensive endeavor, is timed essays within the campus. You could monitor their website activity if you allow the use of references. Either way, you eliminate their unmonitored use of the internet.
The PMP certification exam when performed online requires your exam area to be inspected remotely. Also you are required to take your exam monitored. Proctors if they suspect you of cheating can allow you to complete the exam and fail you or just cut the feed to the exam.
There are options available for colleges. The effort is where you don’t have resources applied to deal with chat gpt unfortunately.
