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. Overall, this course will show AI is not a threat but an enhancement to academic writing if used skilfully.

The course will be divided into 4 sections, each approximately half an hour long

 

Session 1: The scope and ethics of AI tools in academic writing

What is this technology and what can it do? What are the pros and cons of using it in essay writing? How do we avoid students using copy and paste?

 

Session 2: 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.

 

*5 minute comfort break*

 

Session 3: Finding and recording research evidence

Using AI to find authentic academic papers, avoiding pitfalls, checking for integrity, citing and referencing resources, summarising academic references in your essay context and personalisation. (This session will be slightly longer).

 

Session 4: 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, future developments in AI tools

Plenary and opportunity to discuss issues in your school, questions etc

 

*  Times are UAE 1:00pm to 3:00pm via ZOOM.
