Utilizing AI for Teachers to Design Captivating Tasks That Students Willingly Embrace
A college professor is turning to an unlikely source for inspiration: an AI chatbot named ChatGPT. The professor, who finds grading assignments to be one of the more frustrating aspects of teaching, is designing a new assignment focused on media literacy for college students.
The proposed assignment is less written analysis and more focused on online interactions. It could potentially be enjoyable for students to participate in, as it offers the opportunity to collaborate on a discussion about President Donald Trump's presence across social media, analyze the role of political memes, and see the impact of media literacy on a community and an individual.
The secondary goal is to create an assignment that is enjoyable to grade. ChatGPT provided submission requirements such as linking to social media content and screenshots of online interactions, making it easier for the professor to assess the students' understanding of media literacy.
The assignment is meant to align with college-level learning objectives for media literacy, encouraging critical thinking about media consumption. It is also designed to be student-friendly and engaging, with collaborative activities and interactive elements to enhance cooperation and enjoyment.
University lecturer Tanya Sasser used ChatGPT to create a lesson plan for the media literacy project, then revised it by incorporating more collaborative activities and interactive elements. The assignment is intended for college students who heavily interact with digital media and is being designed to be fun, collaborative, and impactful.
However, the professor is concerned about reconciling the assignment with standards and learning objectives established out of their control. ChatGPT provided grading criteria for the assignment, but the professor will need to ensure that it meets the requirements of their institution and curriculum.
Overall, the use of ChatGPT is a novel approach to brainstorming ideas for a media literacy assignment. By leveraging the capabilities of AI, the professor hopes to create an engaging and enjoyable assignment that will help students develop critical thinking skills and a deeper understanding of media literacy.
