The gap between student GenAI use and the support students are offered
I argued a couple of days ago that the sector is unprepared for our first academic year where the use of generative AI is completely normalised amongst students. HEPI found 92% of undergraduates using LLMs this year, up from 66% the previous year, which matches AdvancedHE’s finding of 62% using AI in their studies “in a way that is allowed by their university” (huge caveat). This largely accords with my own experience in which it appeared that last year LLMs become mainstream amongst students and this year they it to become a near uniform phenomenon.
The problem arises from the gap between near uniform use of LLMs in some way and the the lack of support being offered. Only 36% of students in the HEPI survey said they had been offered support by their university: a 56% gap. Only 26% of students say their university provides access to AI tools: a 66% gap. This is particularly problematic because we have evidence that wealthier students are tending to use LLMs more and in more analytical and reflective ways. They are more likely to use LLMs in a way that supports rather than hinders learning.
How do we close that gap between student LLM use and the support students are offered? My concern is that centralised training is either going to tend towards banality or irrelevance because the objective of GenAI training for students needs to be how to learn with LLMs rather than outsource learning to them. There are general principles which can be offered here but the concrete questions which have to be answered for students are going to vary between disciplinary areas:
Furthermore answering these questions is a process taking place in relating to changes in the technology and the culture emerging around it. Even if those changes are now slowing down, they are certainly not stopping. We need infrastructure for continuous adaptation in a context where the sector is already in crisis for entirely unrelated reasons. Furthermore, that has to willingly enrol academics in a way consistent with their workload and outlook. My sense is we have to find ways of embedding this within existing conversations and processes. The only way to do this I think is to genuinely give academics voice within the process, finding ways to network existing interactions in order that norms and standards emerge from practice rather than the institution expecting practice adapts to another centrally imposed policy.

#Trump issued a directive that would require #colleges & #universities to submit reams of new data on #students to check whether they are complying with a #SCOTUS decision that ended race-based #AffirmativeAction. The White House also intensified its campaign against #UCLA which it stripped of hundreds of millions in research funds over a list of issues.
Gaza students due to study in the UK cannot process biometric data for visas
“We are hard workers, smart people in Gaza; over 40 people in [the] Gaza Strip … got scholarships, and they were stuck in Gaza just because of biometrics.”
Governments of other countries provided students in Gaza with predetermined visas or visa deferment until they reached a nearby country where they could continue the visa procedures.

Are #student #assignments which used ##grammarly or #ChatGPT as worthy of the #scores as #work which didn't have that help?
If both cases are treated as #equal we are #teaching #students that there's no point in #learning.
It already happens including #university level.
We are #dumbing_down.
What happens if the #digital #assistance stops?
Would digitally supported students be able to work things out for themselves?
