Time: 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM
Panelists: Dr. Ritu Chaturvedi (CEPS), Dr. Soha Eid Moussa (CEPS), Dr. Karen Gordon (CEPS), and additional panelists.
Description: The impact of GPT on faculty and students hinges on its use. As a supplementary resource for resource creation and problem-solving, it can be advantageous, but misuse as a shortcut may foster superficial understanding. Faculty and students must approach GPT-like tools with discernment to optimize their educational benefits. This investigative panel discussion delves into the (mis)use of GPT. Faculty members are prompted to consider its potential contributions to education, such as content creation and personalized feedback, as well as concerns like ethical implications. Meanwhile, students are asked about their utilization of GPT in coursework, its appealing aspects, and situations where they may feel pressured to use it. Through this session, the diverse implications of GPT within the university community are explored, aiming to foster a nuanced understanding of its role in education and its potential impact on teaching and learning dynamics.
