After-school assignments should be tailored to a student’s needs, focus on a specific skill and complement in-class support, according to the four-page document obtained by the Free Press.
“Most of the submissions, we find, are coming from AI, to be quite honest,” Division scolaire franco-manitobaine superintendent Alain Laberge said in an interview.
The 2022 launch of ChatGPT has made teachers hyperaware of plagiarism and whether students are submitting authentic work.
When it comes to homework, easy-to-use AI chatbots have joined caregivers as homework helpers, Laberge said.
In response, the francophone school division is working to limit homework and focus on sending home books from school libraries instead.
