This video is about using generative AI for exam preparation. It is presented by Andrea Vinkler, an Insight application lead at K University press and assessment, and Raquel, an ELT expert teacher educator.
The video starts with a survey about people’s memories of their exam journeys. People mentioned stress, anxiety, high stakes, limited access to resources, cramming, and the importance of good time management. Then they discuss the key ingredients for exam success, which include practice, preparation, confidence, self-efficacy, good notes, and knowing what to expect. The following are the stages leading to an exam: planning, reviewing, knowing the format, being familiar with the procedure, mock exams, good sleep, and prep tests.
The presenters then introduce the exam preparation journey, which includes tips on how to make the most of teacher handbooks, exam booster activities, classroom warmers, and resources to help students think about smart goals. They mention that generative AI can be used to enhance learners’ autonomy and creativity.
The video then showcases Raquel demonstrating how generative AI can be used in the classroom. Students interact with the AI and receive feedback on their answers. The presenters mention that it is important to establish classroom ground rules around using generative AI tools and to help students understand the limitations of generative AI, such as hallucination. They also mention that generative AI can be a helpful tool for students with disabilities.
