College's Response to AI Written Essays Posted by Hans Hanson Colleges are always staying one step ahead. Power-Point for this week:Colleges have grown tired of receiving AI-written essays. They can spot them easily but they can't disallow them.Instead, in the next application cycle, many colleges will begin to replace written essays with video essays.This will come as a big challenge to the students. They will be presented as an impromptu (not rehearsed) video response to a particular question.The student will have a brief moment to organize their thoughts and present them on a recorded video platform.My take is that this is exactly what we should expect, and it's welcomed by me. I view it as an advantage to our students... and I like the advantage.
