Hypothesis and AI starter assignments

Here are some ideas on how to use social annotation with AI-produced content that you can use or adapt in your courses.

  • Students as editors: critique ChatGPT’s writing style and form
  • Students as fact-checkers: create a bibliography fact-checking ChatGPT’s work
  • Students as content experts: analyze the accuracy of ChatGPT-produced content
    • Examples: poetry in a specific style, or content from a specific author’s perspective
