Transcript of What If College Teaching Was Redesigned With AI In Mind? | Learning Curve
But let's rethink what writing is for and how it happens. And I would say, require your students to use AI and then ask for three things. I want to see the prompts you use to generate this piece of writing. That's a process question and a thinking question. I will know a lot based on your prompts about how you think and what you know. Secondly, I want to see the draft, but pen the draft that it produced, and show me how you improved it. What did you do, whether you prompted the AI to improve it, or whether you jumped in and did it yourself? How did you make it better? How did you know what better was, right? So that's a process and thinking question. And then lastly, I would say, wherever AI made a factual claim, how did you know that was accurate? What did you do to test veracity? How do you know it wasn't hallucinating? These three things reshape how you teach writing.
