Grade 10 students… please note that the Upstairs Cafeteria is no longer available to you during break and lunchtimes this year. The space is going to be used for the library whilst the Hub construction takes place.
You have the Music room, gym, Library and downstairs cafeteria as places to go instead.
Thanks for your flexibility,
Mrs Clarke
Using Turnitin to analyse the chances of student work being AI generated.
Todays Tech tip explores a well-known tool, Turnitin.
With the arrival of AI based tools like ChatGPT and POE that can generate human-like text based documents, a tool for analysing student submissions is very helpful for teachers who seek to analyse the chances of student work being AI generated.
In response to this need, Turnitin which already available within Managebac, has added this feature to their product. An Ed-Tech support guide document has been created that goes through the details of how to setup and use Turnitin for this purpose. It is located here.
In summary, the steps are as follows.
Remember however, that this is NOT definitive, and the chances for false positives definitely exist. It is however a tool that can be used to give you the opportunity to have further discussions with students around how they created their submission based on the results that are presented by Turnitin.
That’s it for today’s Tech Tip. See you again next Tuesday.
(Special Thanks to Cheryl for her assistance putting this weeks Tip together)
