Should instructors enable students to use #generativeAI on assignments?

Today I’m facilitating a collaborative workshop on #AI in #edu at
Stevens Institute of Technology.

After I introduce argument mapping and browser-based chatbots, we'll map supporting arguments, objections, and counter-objections—with help from #LLMs, perhaps.

Given all of the above, if anyone is aware of or can find #ArgumentMapping based #OpenSource #forum software with a nice interface that generates outlines rather than trees, it would be nice if you could share a link.

(boosts welcome)

What kinds of interactions distinguish high- from low-performing groups (when it comes to #criticalThinking)?

56 #students were split into groups of 4 to do some #argumentMapping.

Video content analysis found the top 27% of groups
- interrupted less
- had more positive, fewer negative interactions
- joked, laughed, and smiled more (sometimes to diffuse potential conflict)
than the bottom 27% of groups.

(N = 56, 14 groups of 4)

This #flowchart-inspired poster was probably the best design I saw at the #APA2022 last night.

"Should you be a sex eliminitavist?"

We use argument visualizations in teaching and research; it can improve persuasive ability (https://cogtoolslab.github.io/pdf/cullen_npjsol_2018.pdf) and even depolarize people's views of arguments about polarizing policies about immigration, etc. (Cullen, Byrd, Oppenheimer, et. al., in prep.)
