QUESTION 1: MINUTES OF A MEETING
BACKGROUND
The performance of students at the University of the South, an open distance and e-
learning institution, is on the decline because students submit assignments which are
not original; they simply copy and paste answers generated by Chatbots, using
artificial intelligence. A Teaching and Learning Ad hoc Committee in which academics,
administrators and students are represented, has been constituted. The committee
held a meeting to deliberate on the dynamics of relying on chatbots when writing
assignments by the students.
