With over 2000 registrants generating over 600 annotations, Perusall Exchange® 2023 was a resounding success!

Our live events included a Teaching and Learning panel discussion, two Social Learning Amplified LIVE podcast recordings, a Keynote event, and a Student Panel.

During the Social Learning Amplified, LIVE podcasts, Eric Mazur sat down with authors to explore two timely classroom topics: equity and mental health. Authors, Flower Darby (University of Missouri), Isis Artze-Vega (Valencia College), and Mays Imad (Connecticut College), talked about their book, The Norton Guide to Equity-Minded Teaching, and authors, Rob Eaton and Bonnie Moon (Brigham Young University - Idaho) joined Eric Mazur to discuss their book, Improving Learning and Mental Health in the College Classroom.

In the Keynote, Dr. Zeynep Tufekci (NYT columnist, Pulitzer Finalist; Columbia University) and Eric Mazur had a lively discussion on generative AI and ChatGPT. The Teaching and Learning Panel hosted over 200 attendees, and the students at the Student Panel completely awed us on how to best utilize Perusall in their courses!

Conversations throughout the Exchange in both the synchronous and asynchronous presentations were inspiring, thought-provoking, and made us interested in learning more.

Although the event has ended, all presentations and live event recordings have been compiled and are available to you within the Exchange course. We hope that you find these resources beneficial and encourage you to take notes, watch presentations, and continue your conversations with fellow attendees throughout the summer and beyond.

Register for Perusall Exchange® 2023 to watch all the recordings and presentations!

 A huge thank you to all our speakers, panelists, and presenters! Thank you for sharing your insightful ideas and thoughts with us on trending education topics and social learning.

Danielle Steele's presentation, The Bot Wrote My Essay: Creating Assignments to Avoid AI Plagiarism in the Age of ChatGPT, had the most engagement at this year's Exchange. Congratulations, Danielle!

The Bot Wrote My Essay: Creating Assignments to Avoid AI Plagiarism in the Age of ChatGPT 
Danielle Steele, Georgia Highlands College, USA.

‍

With the introduction of OpenAI's ChatGPT tool, educators face a new challenge in student writing: avoiding having a robot do students' homework for them. This presentation looks at how ChatGPT can be used to in essay writing and how to create assignments that prohibit students from being able to use the AI source to complete their homework assignment. In addition, the presentation considers how elements of good pedagogy, such as scaffolding assignments, can not only help to limit use of AI writing but also purchasing essays from online sources and other forms of cheating.
