Teaching and Learning with AI Conference

Generative AI models have had a profound impact on how students engage with learning materials. The use of AI tools has become increasingly prevalent among students for academic purposes, however, there is a lack of comprehensive studies assessing their overall effectiveness in enhancing learning outcomes. In this study, students in a biology course were administered writing assignments to assess understanding and application of course material. Students in two different course sections were either allowed to use AI tools or their use was prohibited. Student perception of AI usage and performance was measured using surveys, reflective writing, assignments and open-ended questions. #assessment #peer-review #writing
