The state’s public school children will be the first in Australia to be banned from accessing the powerful artificial intelligence robot ChatGPT in the classroom after the NSW Department of Education put the controversial technology behind a firewall.
Australian universities last month updated their academic integrity policies and from this year will make students sit more pen and paper exams, so there are less opportunities to plagiarise work with ChatGPT – which has already occurred at a handful of universities in the US. “The department will also be providing further guidance to teachers on our robust assessment practices in place to ensure all students play by the rules.”
In Mosman, Queenwood principal Elizabeth Stone said teachers could spot plagiarised work and said ChatGPT was limited when it came to higher level critical analysis or evaluation. “Banning it isn’t our style, and not likely to be effective,” she said.James Brickwood“ChatGPT does, however, have real potential to reduce teacher workload by quickly producing draft worksheets, quizzes and simpler tasks which establish the foundation of knowledge,” she said.
“Also, hand-in tasks are first crafted in the classroom and submitted in draft form before final submission,” she said.
