"Student use of artificial intelligence has become so prevalent, high school and college educators say, that to assign writing outside of the classroom is like asking students to cheat. "The cheating is off the charts. It's the worst I've seen in my entire career," says Casey Cuny, who has taught English for 23 years. Educators are no longer wondering if students will outsource schoolwork to AI chatbots."
"The question now is how schools can adapt, because many of the teaching and assessment tools that have been used for generations are no longer effective. As AI technology rapidly improves and becomes more entwined with daily life, it is transforming how students learn and study and how teachers teach, and it's creating new confusion over what constitutes academic dishonesty."
"Cuny's students at Valencia High School in southern California now do most writing in class. He monitors student laptop screens from his desktop, using software that lets him "lock down" their screens or block access to certain sites. He's also integrating AI into his lessons and teaching students how to use AI as a study aid "to get kids learning with AI instead of cheating with AI.""
Student use of artificial intelligence has become widespread, making take-home assignments easily outsourced and undermining traditional out-of-class assessments. Educators report unprecedented levels of cheating and increasingly assume that any home-completed work may involve AI assistance. Teachers are moving major assessment tasks into supervised classroom time and using screen-monitoring software and locked browsers to restrict access. Some educators are incorporating AI into lessons to teach productive use, while others add oral assessments to verify understanding. Rapid AI improvement blurs boundaries between legitimate study aids and dishonest outsourcing and forces schools to redesign assessment methods to preserve academic integrity.
