Happy holidays! Introducing RTutor.ai, an AI-powered app that lets you chat with your data in English! RTutor uses Davinci (#ChatGPT’s sibling) to turn requests into R code, which is executed & results are shown instantly, available as a HTML report in seconds. 1/8
This morning I gave ChatGPT @Teach_Jennifer's criteria for an anti-racist assessment and @sandy_student's definition of a performance task and asked it to create an anti-racist performance task that assesses 8th grade common core math standards. Take a look, how'd it do?
I just asked ChatGBT to write a 6-item multiple choice test measuring this common core standard 6.RP.A.1. Within seconds it produced the items in image 1. I then asked it to modify the assessment to include the context of recycling (image 2). I am blown away.
Join Drs. Peggy Carr, @drchriscip, and Susanne Lane on Sept 23rd 3:30-5:00 EST in a discussion on resilience and wellbeing. Register for this session at bit.ly/3exjXy8
