Talk about cheating.

To be filed in the, “do what I say, not what I do,” column.

In a stunning turn of events; teachers, after lamenting the potential impact ChatGPT may have on the integrity of essay education, have turned to a GPT powered tool to grade their students’ work.

Writable a Generative AI teaching tool that, “transforms learning,” and, “powers up your prep.”

AI that increases your feedback impact

Writable

Writable is comprised of a number of AI tools teachers can use to reclaim their agency by checking the authenticity of essays, score writing samples, and generate potential topics for their curriculum.

Isn’t This Cheating?

Teachers from K through post-doctoral were shook and trembling when GPT-3 demonstrated an ability to write an essay based upon readily available topics. Teachers were concerned students would turn to AI and not practice any creativity. Students would instead rely on the machine to create their work. Instead of making the hard decisions and choices required with investigating already written about topics, students would crank it out using ChatGPT.

Now, teachers are using generative AI to read their students’ papers and generate feedback on their students’ work. Writable assures us its tools send feedback directly to the teacher to provide a human-in-the-loop before students receive their scores.

Isn’t this cheating?

Isn’t providing creative and constructive feedback part of the integrity system used to educate students in essay writing? Isn’t providing clear direction on why an argument may not be strong enough? Aren’t those things a teacher, who has a better understanding of their student, would be able to provide?

Writable claims their tools provide teachers with greater agency.

Sure, it does.
