Questions that technology solutions are doing regarding AI
Mildred Lopez
This weekend I had the opportunity to attend Times Higher Education (THE) Latin America Universities Summit in partnership with Tecnologico de Monterrey. I participated in a networking session hosted by Turnitin https://www.turnitin.com/, and they posed three questions that I want to share with you:
Do you believe that the students using AI writing tools represent a challenge or an opportunity?
In my discussion table, we shared these arguments:
• The challenge for teachers as they need to rethink the assignments in something more than writing an essay, as it can be easily generated with Chatgpt.
• The challenge for teachers is that to change their ways, teachers need training, and they need time and money.
• The challenge for institutions is that many priorities are battling for the same resources, such as teacher training and buying new platforms.
• It is an opportunity for teachers to use their time wisely in activities that add value for learners, for example, in mentoring rather than grading.
• It is an opportunity for programs to migrate from memorization to the application of knowledge finally.
How do you integrate AI with teaching?
• In developing educational resources that are adaptable to the interests and needs of learners.
• In providing accurate and timely feedback for individual assignments, we can provide lots of input for classwork, and teachers can focus on the most complex projects where students create or propose ideas.
• As a teaching assistant, to curate content.
What is the impact that writing with AI has on assessment?
It is making evident the problems we already hold regarding ethics and integrity. Although these are not new, it is harder to detect plagiarism or understand the percentage of the content generated by humans or AI.
What do you think about these questions?

I do not hold any commercial relationship with the platform.
