From the article
A major university is taking aim at tech in a sweeping ban against electronic devices in an effort to „ensure students actually learn to think critically, strategically and independently without relying on AI,“ according to administrators.
The University of Chicago has issued a ban on first-year law students using phones, tablets and laptops in class, a statement released by school administrators said Thursday.
The ban is set to take effect this fall, with university officials saying the rule will combat the use of artificial intelligence in the classroom.
They need to refocus on projects in front of other students or professors that show that they understand the subjects. The concept of homework or outside of the class isn’t going to work anymore.
Doing this will make banning smart phones not make sense.
This sounds fun.
This is going to cripple students who just record the lectures and play them back later, or have AI transcribe them. *Oh, they’ll have to pay attention in class* you joke, but since we de-emphasized handwriting at the grade school level this promises to be a bit of pickle. I agree with the premise, you need to learn how to do it basically before you learn to streamline it, but I hope this doesn’t blow up…too badly.
What promises to be extra super funsies is if they ban the laptop for tests.
Post secondary should go back to pen and paper unless it’s for accessibility purposes
The r/writerDeck community will appreciate this; no more flexible computers in education, only single-purpose word processors (and, a surprise appearance by the ‚1984 calendar‘ meme.)
It’s such an awful concept. People take notes, and work on computers daily. Pretending that this will help anyone is going to backfire spectacularly
Amusingly, law is one of the applications for AI that I’m most excited about. Imagine not needing a lawyer to explain things to you anymore, and being able to put together your legal case. We could get rid of lawyers almost entirely. o.O
This is a massive step backwards, but it’s a whole lot harder to adapt teaching and learning to technology-centric world, and will only yield more lawyers who don’t understand technology, which is going to be a very bad thing, especially when lawyers in politics try to regulate technology based upon an understanding of technology that is firmly rooted in the technological landscape of their parents and grandparents.
This is not theoretical. This has already happened, one of the most glaring examples being the passage of the DMCA a generation ago, based on an outdated understanding of technology and barely even recognizing that the world was going digital.
In Italy we do oral exams exclusively in subjects like law often and I think that’s more than enough as a method for anti cheating, even AI aside. I don’t think AI tools are the devil for studying, of course their abuse won’t take you anywhere but they could be integrated efficiently especially in very repetitive and easily checkable activities like lecture transcription and pretty minimal stuff like that.
