The gap between student GenAI use and the support students are offered

I argued a couple of days ago that the sector is unprepared for our first academic year where the use of generative AI is completely normalised amongst students. HEPI found 92% of undergraduates using LLMs this year, up from 66% the previous year, which matches AdvancedHE’s finding of 62% using AI in their studies “in a way that is allowed by their university” (huge caveat). This largely accords with my own experience in which it appeared that last year LLMs become mainstream amongst students and this year they it to become a near uniform phenomenon.

The problem arises from the gap between near uniform use of LLMs in some way and the the lack of support being offered. Only 36% of students in the HEPI survey said they had been offered support by their university: a 56% gap. Only 26% of students say their university provides access to AI tools: a 66% gap. This is particularly problematic because we have evidence that wealthier students are tending to use LLMs more and in more analytical and reflective ways. They are more likely to use LLMs in a way that supports rather than hinders learning.

How do we close that gap between student LLM use and the support students are offered? My concern is that centralised training is either going to tend towards banality or irrelevance because the objective of GenAI training for students needs to be how to learn with LLMs rather than outsource learning to them. There are general principles which can be offered here but the concrete questions which have to be answered for students are going to vary between disciplinary areas:

  • What are students in our discipline using AI for, which tools, at what stages of their work?
  • Which foundational skills and ways of thinking in our discipline are enhanced vs threatened by AI use?
  • When does AI use shift from “learning with” to “outsourcing learning” in our specific field?
  • What forms of assessment still make sense and what new approaches do we need in an AI-saturated environment?
  • What discipline-specific scaffolding helps students use AI as a thinking partner rather than a thinking replacement?

Furthermore answering these questions is a process taking place in relating to changes in the technology and the culture emerging around it. Even if those changes are now slowing down, they are certainly not stopping. We need infrastructure for continuous adaptation in a context where the sector is already in crisis for entirely unrelated reasons. Furthermore, that has to willingly enrol academics in a way consistent with their workload and outlook. My sense is we have to find ways of embedding this within existing conversations and processes. The only way to do this I think is to genuinely give academics voice within the process, finding ways to network existing interactions in order that norms and standards emerge from practice rather than the institution expecting practice adapts to another centrally imposed policy.

Gaza students due to study in the UK cannot process biometric data for visas

“We are hard workers, smart people in Gaza; over 40 people in [the] Gaza Strip … got scholarships, and they were stuck in Gaza just because of biometrics.”

Governments of other countries provided students in Gaza with predetermined visas or visa deferment until they reached a nearby country where they could continue the visa procedures.

These aren't your typical "real" protestors. They aren't well-meaning #students out protesting fossil fuel use, or Israel, or student debt, or creeping fascism. They aren't the tree-hugging crowd protesting environmental #issues.

They don't seem to actually believe any of the stuff they're pushing. Like I said, they didn't even make their own signs. They're pretty obviously being paid to be there, and they do exactly the minimum they're told to do, and no more.

So, the only real effect this has is that it corrodes our functioning society. Who would pay for fake protests to do that?

I'm hoping it's #foreign. Russia and China do these sorts of things, trying anything they can to hurt their enemies and fracture their #unity. If Canadians, for example, stop trusting media reports about the war in Ukraine, or about China's brutal suppression of #Tibet and persecution of #Uyghurs, we might stop shipping arms to #Ukraine, or criticizing China at the UN. Both of those countries have the motivation, the resources, and the experience to do this here in Canada.

So, fellow #Canucks - have you noticed any of these so-far-out-there-they-can't-be-real protests in your city? What are the slogans on their signs?
