Students use artificial intelligence (AI) to support the evaluation, improvement, and refinement of their ideas or solutions.
This method trains students to use AI as an idea expert, especially when exploring concepts that require knowledge beyond their own.
Formulate evaluation criteria, or ask students to create their own criteria to assess their ideas. Examples include:
How well does the idea solve the problem?
How much will the target audience appreciate the idea?
How easy is the idea to implement?
Students score each idea from 1 to 5 for each criterion, with 5 being the best/most/easiest.
Students describe their ideas, criteria, and scores to their chatbot (e.g., SchoolGPT) and ask it to challenge their ratings. The chatbot provides arguments for why each idea might deserve higher or lower scores on the criteria.
Students reconsider their scores based on the chatbot’s arguments and finalise their ratings.
Let students try two different chatbot platforms and compare the arguments they receive. This can help them understand how different systems prioritise information differently.
Optionally, allow students to choose between working with AI in written form (text-based dialogue) or spoken form (voice-based AI assistants), depending on their preferences and needs.
Consider a two-step evaluation where some students start with a simple idea assessment, while others tackle a more complex task, predicting potential challenges and developing solutions based on AI feedback.
Before finalising their scores, students can ask the chatbot to create detailed user scenarios. This provides insight into how the idea might play out in real life with different types of users and stakeholders.
Example prompt:
We have an idea about (briefly describe the idea), which we have evaluated based on the following criteria:
(Criterion 1): We gave it X points for this because…
(Criterion 2): We gave it X points for this because…
(Criterion 3): We gave it X points for this because…
Can you challenge our assessment? Please provide arguments for why some of our scores might be too high or too low. Additionally, we would like to understand how the idea is perceived by the target audience. Imagine you are a typical person in our target group. How would you experience this idea in your daily life? Please describe, moment by moment, how the idea would be used in different situations. Are there aspects we may be overlooking that could make the idea more or less attractive to the audience?
