Content Quality
Rating:
Strengths:
OpenAI is a research company that develops generative artificial intelligence models for human use. OpenAI uses tools to create resources like ChatGPT, Dall-e, and Whisper. Provides API language models to build and develop AI enhanced tools. Their suggestions for its use are based on their staff and teacher practitioners. The tool and the website is content-neutral, open-ended, and may be used very flexibly. FAQs, blogs and situation-specific guides support users. Links work and are appropriately attributed.
Concerns:
The website (and company) are not in the business of education, but their tool may be useful in educational settings.
Developers may face copyright issues depending on how tools are used, although there is no discussion of developmental privacy and copyright issues. The tool assumes software programming knowledge, which limits use of API languages.
Potential Effectiveness as a Teaching Tool
Rating:
Strengths:
Understanding and using OpenAI tools necessitates ICT literacy. Directions are basic, but blogs provide additional support. OpenAI's tool ChatGPT is easy to write lessons for, and their blog offers some suggstions. Users' own ability to learn through constructivism determines the efficiency of their learning more than OpenAI's guidance. Using ChatGPT can significantly impact academic and workplace life - and potentially daily life.
Concerns:
Little instruction is provided; ChapGPT and OpenAI's website is not set up as a teaching tool.
Ease of Use for Both Students and Faculty
Rating:
Strengths:
The webisite is attractive and engaging, and may be navigated successfully independently. Instructions are basic, but provide enough examples that the beginning user can be successful. However, the development tools are designed for experienced users such as software engineers and/or programming. ChatGPT's use depends on user interactivity. The software is very sophsiticated and robust. Users can contact the company, if need be, but the software itself provides assistance. Much of the site is ADA-compliant.
Concerns:
Some of the content is not ADA-compliant. To access all the features, users have to pay a monthly fee.
