These techniques include human outreach, like employing teams of mentors and advisers who proactively check in on students, as well as automated tools that help keep learners on track. That’s a sharp contrast to how most residential colleges operate. It’s one of those things—you don’t know that you even need it until COVID.”

Since the sudden arrival of ChatGPT just a few months ago, there’s renewed interest in using AI chatbots as tutors. Some researchers are exploring one that might sound trivial but actually could be quite thorny: What should these computer-generated educational assistants look and sound like?

Since the release of ChatGPT a little more than six months ago, students have quickly figured out how to get the free AI chatbot to do their homework for them. A large number of K-12 teachers and college professors have decided to simply ban the use of ChatGPT and other new AI chatbots when completing assignments.

” I'll admit when I first went into Chat GPT earlier this year, I went in and came away not super impressed. Then again, I didn't really know how to prompt it, so I wasn't getting great results. I also didn't know I could give it feedback to improve the prompt. What is Chat GPT?

Could this AI perform as well, or possibly even outperform the human students/ And if so, which assignments would it excel in, and where would it fall short? How does this inform our understanding of the importance of effective prompting in teaching? How should educators adjust their assignments based on this knowledge?
