Let\u2019s admit it – submitting AI-made student assignments is the new reality.<\/span><\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence text generators will have an increasing impact on the education world. Have you already thought about how to handle this next school year, Google admin?<\/span><\/p>\n

Although sometimes<\/span> \u201cit is painfully obvious\u201d<\/span><\/a> to teachers that an assignment was written by AI and not a student, students (and AI algorithms) learn new skills very quickly:<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve known my students’ “voices” for a while now. I’m sure that as the AI bots begin to sound more natural – or as students learn how to adjust the output to be less rigid and formal – it will get more difficult to detect<\/span><\/i>,<\/span> a teacher says.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Even more so when students can easily find and learn from online tutorials on how to create the best prompts to generate an essay or any text requested by the teacher.<\/span><\/p>\n

Probably getting back to paper and pen isn\u2019t the most effective way to stop this from occurring. It would mean blocking the global AI revolution in your school; meanwhile, the mission of educators should be to teach skills useful in everyday life. On the other hand, they must ensure students have an independent e-learning process that is free of cheating, plagiarism, and shortcuts.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the face of this challenge, you may consider the following methods for a fairer and more effective evaluation of student assignments at your school.<\/p>\n

1. Encourage Personal Insights & Creativity<\/h2>\n

As shown in the example above, ChatGPT is unable to write about someone\u2019s personal experience, feelings, and memories. This can be the key to preventing students from using AI-based technology when doing homework.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just ask them to create essays that must express personal thoughts or include details from their life. Since students would have to demonstrate their independent thinking, AI chatbots couldn\u2019t help them so much. Engage students in further discussion in the class on the topic they wrote about in the assignment to check if they understand the topic. Teachers going beyond simple homework assessments will turn their students into active participants in the learning process.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Evaluate Problem-Solving Skills<\/h2>\n

See how avoiding AI-based tools can improve creativity – both your own and your students.<\/span><\/p>\n

Try to design assignments that make your students rely on their knowledge and judgment. Instead of asking them to resume information they are supposed to learn, ask to solve a problem or make a difficult decision based on the matter you teach in the class. ChatGPT will likely find it difficult to help students with this kind of homework.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Monitor AI-generated Content<\/h2>\n

How do we detect homework content created by AI? There is an easy solution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you assume a student has used it\u00a0<\/span>for an assignment, nothing faster than the\u00a0Taskmaster<\/a> tool will tell you whether the student is the author of the content or has asked ChatGPT<\/span> for help. Our AI-based feature analyzes the content and generates real (written by the student) and fake (created by ChatGPT) scores<\/strong> for each text segment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, in this case, the tool evaluates homework submitted by a student as 32% true and 68% fake.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"GPT<\/p>\n

It’s great to have a tool that automatically, within seconds, evaluates the authenticity of each student\u2019s assignment, right? Think about this solution for next school year, Google admin, and I\u2019m sure your teachers will say a big \u201cthank you\u201d after trying it out.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you decide to implement this solution at your school, don\u2019t hesitate to let students know about it. They will certainly feel more discouraged to submit AI-made student assignments, knowing how easily and quickly teachers can now detect cheating.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Detect Copy-Paste Automatically<\/h2>\n

Another scourge of students\u2019 homework is the copy\/paste action. Some students, in addition to asking the AI-based tool to write an assignment for them, don\u2019t even modify the output text and paste it directly into the document.<\/span><\/p>\n

With Taskmaster, the teacher can block this option on the Google document where the assignment was created. Educators can enable or disable copying and pasting text into a particular file. So, even if a student has generated seemingly authentic-looking content with AI technology, if it was pasted directly into the assignment document, it will be detected immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n

Taskmaster’s<\/a> report will show how many cutting, copying, and pasting actions students have done and how much time they have spent on homework. This enables proper evaluation of students\u2019 work and abilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

AI-generated and copy-paste content detection – these features will be milestones for your Google Classroom, K12 Admin. <\/strong>Software-based solutions will automate AI use, prevention, and plagiarism detection, and ensure the best monitoring of student homework.<\/p>\n
