Some Washburn University students, like Ethan Strong and Caroline Chiddix, choose not to use artificial intelligence (AI) for personal reasons, including moral concerns and a preference to challenge themselves.
Despite their personal choices, these students acknowledge that AI can be useful for study purposes, assisting with tasks like creating rubrics.
Kara Kendall-Morwick, Director of the Washburn Center for Teaching Excellence and Learning, emphasizes the importance of using AI appropriately to enhance learning rather than replacing cognitive efforts.
Chiddix uses non-AI tools like Quizlet for flashcards whereas Strong uses Chegg for check-ups, indicating the preference for human-verified assistance.
The university’s center held a panel to discuss student perspectives on AI and future approaches to incorporating it into the academic environment.
