Can AI Help Teachers Write Higher Quality Feedback? Lessons Learned From Using the GPT-3 Engine in a Makerspace Course
Gahyun Sung, Léonore V. Guillain, Bertrand Schneider · Proceedings. · 2023
We explore how a cutting-edge language model, GPT-3, can be used to augment and assist periodic feedback writing in a makerspace course.Personalized messages were generated using student data then edited and combined with human instructor feedback.We discuss the lessons learned: namely, AI did well in summarizing work and positive encouragements, yet could write off-target feedback for struggling students.An initial interview with an instructor revealed that future iterations must consider ways to formalize and manage human expert roles.
