Thanks to ChatGPT, students are now using AI to cheat on their assignments.
But there's a way teachers can make assignments UNCHEATABLE.
Here's how:
To make assignments uncheatable, you'll need a bit of creativity and an app called @ClioVis.
This app is made by @ErikaBsumek, a history prof. at University of Texas, Austin.
To minimize the chances of cheating, ask you students to do their assignments in ClioVis.
@ClioVis @ErikaBsumek Once your students sign up for ClioVis, they can either create an invididual project or join a group project.
(For the purposes of this tutorial, I am using the example of an individual project.)
@ClioVis @ErikaBsumek After your students have created a project, ask them to create a "timeline."
@ClioVis @ErikaBsumek On their timeline, students can create "events" and "eras."
To create an event, students will be required to enter its name, description, and reference. They can also attach images and videos they found relevant to their project.
@ClioVis @ErikaBsumek After they have created events, ask them to make connections between events.
To make a connection, they can drag their mouse from one event to another. These connections can be forward, backward, or bidirectional.
Ask them to write short descriptions explaining a connection.
@ClioVis @ErikaBsumek A timeline populated with events and eras would look something like this.
Students may use AI to look up certain details, but AI can't fill their timelines for them.
@ClioVis @ErikaBsumek After they have completed their project, you can ask them to present.
They can present from within ClioVis. During presentation, you can ask them to explain how why they made the connections that they did.
@ClioVis @ErikaBsumek If you are a teacher and want to learn more about ClioVis, Prof. Bsumek, the founder of the app, is doing a free webinar.

@ClioVis @ErikaBsumek And if you want to learn about how to supercharge your academic writing with AI-powered apps, I have a complete tutorial (of 250+ slides) for you.
It's being used by 2,000+ academics including those at Harvard, Princeton, and Yale.
