What are the pros and cons of using this technology in research, essay writing and revision? How do we avoid students using cheating?

Structuring extended writing using AI tools

Developing a research question, drafting outlines, understanding the importance of vocabulary in obtaining the information you need, personalising the outcome.

Finding and recording research evidence

Using AI to find authentic academic papers, avoiding pitfalls, using data tools, checking for integrity, citing and referencing resources, summarising academic references in your essay context and personalisation.  

What’s not cheating?

Learning about some current advice from examination boards such as International Baccalaureate, Joint Council for Qualifications (UK), Australian Curriculum regarding AI use, using AI as a revision tool, future developments in AI tools

Intended outcomes
  • An understanding of how AI tools can be used ethically whether within school or at home to assist with extended writing projects and revision.
  • Knowledge of a wider range of AI technology beyond Chat GPT so specific sites can be used for specific elements in the essay writing or revision process.

Programme Details

There has been a huge explosion in the availability of mainly free AI technology which aids the writing process and this has worried educators and assessors that it will encourage students to cheat. However, used correctly, just as with using the internet ethically, these tools can help students to be more creative in their writing by reducing the cognitive load on the mundane routine tasks. This short course will explore different products to assist with forming research questions, drafting outlines for academic writing and finding authentic resources to underpin research. It will also cover academic integrity and the creation of references and bibliographies using freely available websites. The course will also show how students can use this technology as an exceptional revision tool. Overall, this course will show AI is not a threat but an enhancement to academic writing if used skilfully
