- Writing graph theory proofs with ChatGPT 8 Feb 23
Posting logs of ChatGPT interaction is getting a bit passé by now in Feb '23, so I'll stop doing it soon (I promise). But yesterday I was hanging out with my father-in-law and showing how it might impact his classes---he's Associate Chair of the Mathematics Department at a top uni in China....
- Academic integrity guidelines re: ChatGPT and generative AI tools 2 Feb 23
Here in Australia Semester 1 is approaching and ChatGPT is, undoubtedly, a thing. From a practical perspective it's important to have some sort of guidelines about about ChatGPT and other generative AI tools in the classroom (everyone's doing it). If you don't provide any advice ahead of time you'll end up making it up as you go along (because it will come up) and policy on the run is policy underdone....
- Are you ready for ChatGPT in the classroom this semester? 16 Jan 23
As I scrolled through my social media feeds over the Christmas break I read through several "what do AI tools like ChatGPT mean for the future of Higher Education" pieces---I'm sure you saw them as well. To be honest, I'm reluctant to add to that discourse, because most of my thoughts on the issue have already been made....

- Independent Study Contract writing tips 25 Jan 21
Many students here at the ANU School of Computing take a capstone project at the end of their undergraduate degree. There are a few different variations (e.g. half-year vs full-year, "research" vs "implementation", etc.), but overall these projects are a chance for students to put together all the skills they've learned in their degree program in a supervised project where they're the boss....

In 2018 I (with the support of the Teaching & Learning IT team in my School) switched from Piazza to a self-hosted Discourse instance for class discussions.
