Check out the StudyForge sessions on the symposium program: 5 Updates You Need to Make to Your Online Course Because of ChatGPT – Richard Bitgood Large Language Models (LLMs) like chatGPT are impacting education immensely, and especially in the realm of asynchronous online learning. The “written reflection”, which used to be the gold standard for ensuring academic integrity, is much less effective in the AI era. AI detectors are unreliable. Should LLMs be banned? Allowed in moderation? Encouraged in certain contexts? How can we police it? These are the questions we are wrestling with as online educators. In this session we will share how the StudyForge team is adjusting their curriculum in response to LLMs in order to spark practical ideas that you can apply to your online course today. 5 Crucial Mistakes to Avoid When Blending Your Program – Alex Donkersgoed This session will identify 5 mistakes to avoid when implementing a blended classroom for the first time. We will then walk through the remedies so that you can be confident that your blended program will have students leaving each day excited, engaged, and empowered. #DLSymp24 Registration If you aren’t registered yet, don’t wait!
