Opportunities for Student Learning

Since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, there have been a few small-scale studies to investigate student use and perceptions of generative AI, many with the aim of describing different levels of experience and different perspectives among students. Unsurprisingly, students, like instructors, evince a wide range of reactions and uses of generative AI. Our purpose here is to use the limited available understanding of student use and perception to inform McMaster’s guidelines and resources for students, while also recognizing a need for further investigation and partnership with students to explore the nuances of student perceptions of generative AI.
