Students “outsmarting” Learning management systems or online teaching platforms has always been a big concern among the Learning providers. Even before Chat GPT there were genuine concerns about how effective are self learning courses ? Do the certifications of self learning courses hold any merit ?
In all likeliness in self-paced courses students could just finish their courses in few minutes to gain certificates and which ultimately defeat the purpose of a Certificates as students did not learn anything.
Traditional solutions provided by LMS provide inefficient ways to tackle this by adding a Drip Feed which may deter a student trying to cheat but can also hinder a student genuinely interested.
The other traditional solution was to involve quizzes and assignments so test user’s level of understanding on the topic. With the inset of really handy AI tools like ChatGPT it presents a serious problem in hands of instructors.
