Since the arrival of ChatGPT, the Summary task form is less suitable.

However, ChatGPT can be used as follows:

  1. Instruct the students to create a summary of one or more articles using ChatGPT. Each student should create their own summary. As an alternative, you can also assign the task of creating multiple summaries to the students.
  2. Let students write a critique the summary, focusing on both the content and accurate representation of the article, as well as any discrepancies among the multiple variations generated by ChatGPT.

For a worked-out example, see Generative learning through, not despite, generative AI; a real-life experiment.
