In a recent article for The Conversation Jimena de Mello Heredia (Monash University) discusses the results of a survey of students on how they are using AI for learning. The survey of nearly 7,000 Australian students found that 49% were using AI to gain feedback on their work and that the majority (84%) found this feedback helpful. While fewer students trusted the feedback given by AI compared to that given by an instructor (60% vs 90%, respectively), students said that AI was easier to access and that they felt less worried about being personally judged for their questions. Mello Heredia explains that universities could use AI to offer students accessible, judgment-free feedback while enabling educators to focus on their areas of strength.
