I used AI to build AI-resistant assignments and cheat resistant assessments. Here’s how I did it and what I learned in the process. Read my latest article in @edsurge.com www.edsurge.com/news/i-used-...
The first session of my Uncheatable Assessments workshop is in the books! Educators began learning how to design cheat-resistant, AI-resistant assignments. What’s the secret? The next cohort start Oct 29 storytelling-with-purpose-learning.thinkific.com/collections/...
How vulnerable are your assignments to cheating with AI? Find out using my new Cheat Vulnerability Index. It's a free resource I designed to help educators figure out how to design cheat-resistant assignments, based on my course, Uncheatable Assessments. www.michael-hernandez.net/uncheatable-...
Wait, what's the point of school?This article provides more evidence that the day-to-day structure of school has a profound psychological, ethical, and civic impact. What this means for portrait of a graduate & the future of assessment. rossier.usc.edu/news-insight...
Research: AI education tools give different writing feedback if it knows the race or gender of students. What this bias means for ed tech and schools. dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...
Writers are going to extremes to prove they didn't use AI. Making intentional mistakes "feels like McCarthyism." Is this proof of humanity? When we default to a culture of surveillance and put our energy on catching students cheating, we lose the whole point of school. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/writ...
