ntegrating AI into teaching, learning and assessments without


compromising integrity is a challenge many


schools are dealing with and it’s a delicate balance. We went to hear what Annie Chechitelli, chief product officer of academic integrity firm Turnitin had to say at the BETT education conference. “When gen AI was introduced on


November 30 2022 it came suddenly. A lot of advancements in technology happen, we think, quickly, but not as quickly as that. Usually you’ve got a little bit of time to adjust.

somewhere between I don’t know and it depends,’ she added.


“I’d like to tell you that we’re


going to have answers in the next year or two but I don’t think that’s the case. I think instead we need to come together as an education community and start talking and understanding transparently ways it can help, and ways it can’t help.”

four in five students say they put less effort into their studies and assessment knowing that they can rely on AI. These numbers are alarming but they’re not the whole story. These are statistics.” Chechitelli went on to describe


the numerous ways both students and educators are positively using gen AI, from research and curriculum design to adaptive teaching, lesson planning and producing more interactive, creative and visually appealing presentations. She cited research that shows
