A recent guest post on “The Benefits and Risks of ChatGPT for Education” provided a balanced view on the use of AI in education by highlighting some of the pitfalls and opportunities to support various aspects of teaching and learning. Generative AI is not going anywhere and so it is vital for educators to reflect on how to best use it and to instruct their students on how to navigate this new development responsibly. In today’s digest, I have put together some resources that encourage responsible use of AI in education.
1. “AI and education: Kids need AI guidance in school. But who guides the schools?” by the World Economic Forum
This article presents seven principles for AI in education and takes the stance that schools should proactively teach about responsible use of AI with an emphasis on boosting critical thinking, evaluation, and AI literacy. The principles serve as a useful framework for educational institutions.
2. “Using ChatGPT to create teaching materials: marking criteria & rubrics” by Dr Emily Nordmann, University of Glasgow

Providing students with feedback on their reports, essays, or other coursework is essential for their learning and rubrics can support this process. However, writing rubric descriptions is challenging. It turns out that AI can be used for this. This article offers a step-by-step guide on how to use AI to design marking rubrics.
