Sure happy to share. It's mostly an in class activity so the handout is pretty basic but I can also show you the spreadsheet. Just dm me your email and I'll send it along next time I'm at my computer.

I do a comparative textbook activity, where I give small groups the chapters of the French Revolution from various Western Civ textbooks and have them fill out a spreadsheet with various basic questions, some of which will be different, but not wrong (when did it start? end? Who participated?)

No I'm not. But I also think accuracy is important. As far as I know the aha hasn't laid out guidelines for the use of generative Ai in professional research.

No which is why I'll be continuing to ban it. I actually find this list of useful cases useful insofar as it is also a list of Ai use cases that I need to help students understand why it's not helpful. Regardless I think it's important to put the chart into its proper context

I don’t think that’s entirely case since I don’t expect my students to have all the skills I do. I build in shortcuts for them into my assignments. On the flip side, while I do not intend on ever using generative ai in my research I do think I’ll have to address it in my methods class.

the teaching report says to expect one on research as well.

Since the report itself was more pro ai than I think most historians on blue sky including myself. I think it was foolish of them to include that chart with frankly bizarre suggestions.

For what’s its worth, this chart isn’t a set of research guidelines. Unless folks are screenshotting a new report, it is from the @historians.org teaching guidelines. The chart was meant to demonstrate a possible classroom policy, not a recommended policy. I am not surprised that it is being misread

Have you considered that perhaps you’re not entirely objective when it comes to this subject?

Honestly this goes a long to way to explaining how, in the course of 2.5 years or so, so many so called experts in AI in education have popped up. Took me a bit longer to become an expert in my field!

Anyone know how to turn this off?
