tools that are authoritativeand adaptable to the needs of different learners.In the spring of 2024, we held a CyberEd-Expo where student ambassadors presented materialsthey had developed to the CyberEd group for feedback. They first presented a plan in the fall of2023 of what types of materials and lessons they were planning, and we provided initialfeedback. The goal is to make these materials available to other ambassadors.The CyberEd group utilized ChatGPT to develop the framework and some content for theambassador program materials, as described above. Below is a description of how ChatGPT wasused for the various parts of the program. I also want to acknowledge that ChatGPT helpedcreate the description below of how ChatGPT supports the

students understand the importance ofexploring and using current and emerging tools as part of their lifelong education. The specifictools can vary a lot depending on individual classroom learning goals, resulting in a wide rangeof student-authored tutorials. Some examples from the author’s classes include:  Setting up ChatGPT to help write code in Jupyter notebooks.  Building and deploying your own Shiny App.  Accessing the US census API in Python.  Downloading and installing Seaborn to make more robust figures.Students are tasked with creating in-depth tutorials designed to help their peers learn to use thesoftware tools effectively. Creating successful tutorials requires that student authors bothunderstand the tools and

a different approach. To go along with the stated goalof empowerment, students explore topics of their choosing in much greater detail than can bedone in class. In order to constrain the scope a little, a few choices were given for each deep dive.For example, here are the choices that were given for the second deep dive. • Build an electrocardiogram monitor using discrete op-amps. • Analyze and characterize the non-ideal properties of an op-amp. • Write code to perform backpropagation on a simple neural network. • Write a children’s book on a class topic. • Argue with ChatGPT [8] and find a fundamental misunderstanding in its response.In addition to allowing students to explore interesting topics in

labs weretaking closer to 6-8 hours to complete. We revised all the future labs and reduced them each toonly two experiments per lab, so it was under 4 hours to complete, including watching the videos.In the second survey sent out, there were no reported issues with any of the labs.While the TAs graded the lab reports, we noticed in spot checking some of the reports that theywere clearly written using ChatGPT. The sentence structure was complex, filled with expressiveadjectives and while there were a lot of words, they often contained a low density of information.We sent out a warning to students that anyone using Chat GPT for the labs reports would be givena zero and no future labs would be accepted unless they convinced the staff they would

disabilities were morelikely to prefer oral exams to written exams [4]. Finally, oral assessments may offer an additional dimension related to academic integrity.Some studies experimented with this assessment approach during the COVID-19 pandemic toimprove students’ online learning experience, specifically as it related to ensuring academicintegrity and students’ perceptions of academic fairness in the course [1], [14]. Similarconsiderations may become relevant as new technologies like chatGPT become more pervasive.Learning by teaching As an approach in which a student is asked to explain a concept, oral assessment bearssome similarity to the idea of “learning by teaching.” This concept has been studied since the1970s [15], initially for
