The revolutionary potential of ChatGPT?


Audrey Fisch recently published a piece in the Star Ledger about ChatGPT.

Drawing on her work with students at New Jersey City University and in the college access and success program, More Than Bootstraps, Fisch explores what she calls the “revolutionary potential” of ChatGPT to help first-generation college students navigate the college application process and advocate for themselves in the alien and often baffling world of higher education. She also reminds us that new literacy technologies, from the pencil eraser to ChatGPT, have always posed challenges to writing instruction and ponders the kind of social change this new technology may or may not engender.
