At NTNU, they have organized an expert group that will look at what challenges the robot can provide, but also what opportunities the technology can provide for teaching. NTNU has the most traditional school examinations. But it can be a challenge for submissions and home exams, says the vice-chancellor for education at NTNU, Marit Reitan. – We do not want increased use of school exams, so it is important for us to find good solutions for this, she says. Vice Chancellor for Education at the University of Oslo, Bjørn Stensaker, says they are working to get the knowledge up to employees. – Assessment forms and exam design are delegated by UiO and are based on a professional assessment. It is likely that it will become more and more important to design exam tasks that are not suitable to be answered with the help of AI. For school exams, these tools are not a current issue. We work with this and look at different approaches from the management and beyond in the organisation. – Some of our departments are particularly concerned that the students should learn to use the new technology and be able to show in assignments that they can utilize both ChatGPT and AI in their work, says vice-rector for education, Amund Langøy. – Even though this chatbot is new, it has always been possible to pass off other people’s work as your own in the exam, says vice-rector Silje Fekjær. At Oslo Met, they have therefore worked for a long time to facilitate more varied forms of assessment, and to avoid exam forms that could become a cheating trap for students. – One solution is to create more complicated task formulations, for example that the students should not only reproduce subject content from the literature, but connect the syllabus to their own experiences from practice. Oral exams are another example, says Fekjær. The University of Southern Norway USN has not prepared the exam papers for the spring semester 2023, but such assessments as the University College in Innlandet has attempted will be good alternatives for certain subjects and assignments, says Vibeke Bredahl, director of studies, department for education and study quality. – The use of AI challenges some forms of examination more than others. For example, in home exams, with all aids available, it will be important to write the tasks so that the students can show their knowledge – without the use of AI. Alternatively, that the use of AI is included as part of the basis of the thesis. Currently, UiB has no institutional guidelines; it is up to the professional communities and the teachers to decide this based on their own subject areas. – The tool works differently from subject to subject and UiB is a large university where the opportunities and challenges vary between the subjects, says vice-rector for education, Pinar Heggernes. He believes that the most important thing is that all teachers familiarize themselves with the tool. – We will also make our students aware that answers that come from ChatGPT can be directly wrong, can be biased and can contain other sources of error, says Heggernes. Høgskulen på Vestlandet The Høgskulen på Vestlandet is in a probing and assessment phase. For now, they have no strategy, but they are setting up a separate expert group to monitor developments, says vice-rector for education, Anne-Grethe Naustdal. – Going forward, we have an increased focus on getting good and up-to-date knowledge out to our scientific staff about AI and that this is included in the design of the exam tasks. At the University of Volda, they have not made any changes related to the exam and ChatGPT. – But we are following developments and assessing the situation on an ongoing basis. For example, we have just held a larger internal webinar on the topic, and are planning repeated webinars in the future throughout the semester. We are also involved in major work related to guidelines at the College, and will possibly consider including something about this in the guidelines if necessary. Furthermore, it will be important to have good information about this in the run-up to the exam period, both for students and staff, says Vice-Chancellor Odd Helge Mjellem Tonheim. University of Tromsø (UiT) Head of Section Kjersti Dahle at the section for study administration says that they have informed the students that they cannot use ChatGPT, unless this is stated as a permitted aid for the exam. – As in all exam situations, it is assessed whether the answer is perceived as honest and according to implemented academic principles, cf. requirements for source references and openness about method, she says. If the examiners perceive an answer to be fraudulent, a cheating case will be opened, and the case will have to be tried legally.
