Emerging Technology - AI & TBL

How are you adapting TBL to take advantage of new technologies such as AI (ChatGPT) ,Virtual Reality, Agumented Reality, 3D printing, etc? I think people would love to hear how you do it.

Sandy, below are a few ways I’ve used AI in TBL the last couple weeks

I ran all 400+ peer eval comments through AI to check for 1) duplicates (ie, students copying/pasting the same comments to every teammates) and 2) unprofessional or inappropriate comments. It worked surprisingly well! I still did go through and review the comments myself, but I found I was able to focus more on giving feedback and less on finding students that were “cheating” the system.

I teach pharmacotherapeutics. I’ve recently started placing my patient cases into AI and having it generate a plan. I then give that plan to the students and have them critique, explain why they do or do not agree with it, etc.

How cool - that sounds like something to share with others!

I have allowed students to use generativeAI as a starting point for creating responses to answers and have critiqued it’s responses (which can appear excellent to students) as a learning task. I also use genAI to help generate hints to MCQs and links to my resources so that I can respond to students after tRATs (i.e. explanation on the topic followed by link to textbook page).

Hi Stuart!

Good to see you on here and thanks for sharing. A couple of questions:

  1. What AIs are you using or have found worked best?
  2. Have you find the hints or resources accurate?
  3. What sort of prompts do you use?

I was playing around with creating MCQs and found that the correct answer is often incorrect in the MCQ. Curious to hear what others are experiencing?

I played a bit with using ChatGPT in creating MCQs too. I found that the more details you can provide, such as clear links to references, helps it to create more accurate “correct” answers. But, the added value was giving you a place to start. Sometimes editing a draft is easier than creating one from scratch. Just my thoughts.

This sounds interesting.
Could you elaborate a little more?
Mainly:
What tool was used?
What was your prompt?
How did you upload the responses?
How did the AI tool generate the report?

As I mentioned I used ChatGPT on my web browser (chatgpt.com).

Here are some example things I asked chatGPT to have it write MCQ

Write an MCQ question about backward design according to Wiggins & McTighe.

It came up with:

What is the first stage in the backward design process proposed by Wiggins & McTighe?

a) Identifying learning objectives

b) Designing assessment tools

c) Planning learning activities

d) Evaluating student performance

Another time I asked

write an MCQ about the 4S’s of writing a team-based learning application.

It came back with:

It seems there might be a confusion as the 4S’s typically refer to Situations, Strategies, Skills, and Support in the context of team-based learning. However, I can create an MCQ related to team-based learning. Let’s proceed:
