New technological opportunities have greatly impacted the end of 2022, and students have already embraced OpenAI's ChatGPT as an assistive tool. 2023 will be a wild tech year that will change our entire perception of how teaching can be adapted to the new digital reality - but also when we should go analog and digitize our teaching.
We are in the process of writing several new articles that will be published in January. At the same time, we have received promises of more people who would like to write to the site.
At the beginning of January, an article will be published that deals with the challenges of plagiarism and GPT, and here we gather several good tips for spotting whether ChatGPT has been used in texts. At the same time, we have tested several tools that can investigate whether texts are written by artificial intelligence. However, the challenge is that such an article also provides the perfect recipe for creating assignments written by ChatGPT without it being apparent that you have been helped by artificial intelligence.
In addition, we are currently writing the following articles, and they will be published in January:
- Idea generation in media studies with Midjourney images for a Noir film
- AI tools for creative subjects
- What is GPT, and how does it work?
- "Collaborative Creative Writing" in English with ChatGPT
In addition to the articles, we are working on making many instructional videos for the various tools - always focusing on how they can be used in teaching or as a tool for the teacher.
News and articles
Below we have gathered a number of news and articles from December 2022 - all focusing on education and the new technologies.

High school students want rules for using cutting-edge chatbot: 'You can use it to cheat'
High school students and teachers fear that ChatGPT will be used to cheat in exams, and therefore, the Association of Danish High School Students wants to introduce rules for the use of ChatGPT in connection with exams.
The College Essay Is Dead
Professor Mike Sharples from the UK used the GPT-3 AI language model to write a master's-level assignment to show the possibility that students can cheat by using AI to generate their work. While AI can be used as a powerful teaching assistant or a tool for creativity, it can also potentially disrupt traditional teaching methods centered around tasks as a way to teach students to research, think, and write.

I would have cheated in college by using ChatGPT
It is an interesting perspective that speaks of cheating as a state of mind. The blog post also points out that cheating is not only about using certain tools or techniques but also about breaking one's academic integrity and undermining the learning process.
