#ETMOOC2 Session 1 – Chat GPT and Its Implications for Lifelong Learning
Session 1 of #ETMOOC2 was held on April 19th. If you were unable to attend, the recording has been uploaded to YouTube (see embed below) and the slides note notes are available via the Session 1 landing page.
Identify at least three ways ChatGPT might be of benefit to you and those you serve in your section of our lifelong learning environment
- Provide a foundation for generalized writing
- Assist with implementation planning and critique existing plans for gaps
- Templates for lesson and activity planning
Anticipate at least three challenges ChatGPT may pose to you and those you serve
- We still have a subset of educators who struggle with authentic and appropriate assessment activities for their learners. For those that are unable, or unwilling, to modernize their assessment strategies to reflect our current society they will be bogged down in a lens of “AI as a source of cheating”
- Digital equity remains a challenge in MB due to inconsistent internet access and high-levels of childhood poverty. For learners who are operating in programs requiring homework, at home access to tools like AI will further widen the gap.
- AI is only as good as the data sources it can pull from. There continues to be inherent bias built into many programs and users need to be aware that AI is also subject to this shortfall
Describe at least one way you may begin incorporating ChatGPT into your work
- I have been using ChatGPT to provide foundational starting points on most of the generalized communication related to my position (introductory tutorials, software descriptions, tech-themed holiday newletter items, etc)
