AI as Co-Teacher

What distinctive capability does generative AI bring to the field of artificial intelligence?

• It can create new content, such as texts, images or music, and perform tasks it wasn’t specifically trained to do.

• It is used in the creation of the hardware that powers virtual assistants such as Siri or Google Home.

• It can instantaneously access web content to answer questions accurately on a huge range of subjects.

• It can access huge databases much faster than search engines and make that data available to users.

Which of the following best represents a critical approach when considering using generative AI tools for academic purposes?

• Exploring what works through trial and error until you find a reliable AI tool that works for you.

• Understanding the capabilities of the AI tool and formulating clear objectives for what you wish to achieve with its help.

• The most impressive thing about these technologies is how fast they produce their outputs. Use them in situations where speed is of the essence, such as marking of assessments or generating resources for teaching.

• Using the AI tools that work for you in your context, despite institutional policies and regulations that are likely to have fallen behind.

What type of AI application is best associated with supporting personalised learning through modifications to resources and interactions according to individual learner needs, progress and responses?

• Adaptive learning systems

• AI-driven administrative and support tools

• AI for integrity and security

• Automated marking and feedback

In prompt engineering, what is a “zero-shot” prompt?

• A) A prompt where the AI is given an example to follow

• B) A prompt where the AI receives no prior examples or training context for the task

• C) A prompt used only in image generation tools

• D) A prompt that can only be used for translation tasks

You ask AI for facts about a historical event. It provides convincing but incorrect details. What is this phenomenon called?

• Data fatigue

• Model burnout

• AI hallucination

• Neural confusion

Which of these best describes how AI learns?

• By finding patterns in large data sets

• By memorising fixed rules only

• By asking humans for every answer

• By reading books like a student

You ask an AI to write quiz questions for Grade 8 Science. It creates several but includes incorrect facts. What is the best teacher response?

• A. Verify and edit before using

• B. Discard AI entirely

• C. Give them as they are

• D. Let students find the mistakes

Which of these tasks is least suitable for AI in teaching?

• Translating instructions into another language

• Auto-grading multiple-choice quizzes

• Choosing emotional support strategies for a student

• Giving personalised feedback

A student uses AI to solve a complex math problem. Which situation is an ethical use of AI?

• The student copies the full solution for homework

• The student studies the AI’s steps, then solves similar problems independently

• The student hides AI use from the teacher

• The student uses AI to answer exam questions in real-time

A significant concern regarding current AI detection tools in education is that:

• They are costly.

• They take too much time to produce results.

• They often mistake human writing for AI writing.

• They require specialised training to use.
