The FLUF Test for Artificial Intelligence, developed by Dr. Jennifer Parker, is an educational framework designed to help students critically evaluate AI-generated content. The website offers a step-by-step guide for identifying content that is Factually correct, Logical, Useful, and Fanfare (FLUF). This resource is particularly valuable for educators aiming to incorporate media literacy and ethical considerations about AI into their classrooms. Using the FLUF test, teachers can equip students with essential critical thinking skills to assess AI-generated outputs, fostering responsible and informed use of technology in academic and real-world contexts. If your district blocks YouTube, you may not be able to view the videos explaining the process.

tag(s): artificial intelligence (169), creating media (13), media literacy (107)

In the Classroom

Provide students with AI-generated essays or summaries on a topic and have them apply the FLUF Test to identify issues in Format, Language, Usability, and Fanfare. Assign a task requiring AI assistance, like generating a story or answering a complex question, and have students refine their initial prompts using the FLUF Test framework to improve AI responses. Students could work in groups to co-author a story with AI tools like ChatGPT, reviewed here, and apply the FLUF Test to polish their AI-generated drafts. Stories can be shared, and peers can evaluate them based on the FLUF rubric.

Students need to understand copyright laws and responsible content creation as they engage in various academic projects and creative endeavors. This workshop will equip you with the essential knowledge and strategies you need to effectively teach copyright concepts to your students. Together, we'll explore the legal and ethical implications of using other people's work and the creative and educational benefits of remixing and reusing content. Discover various tools and resources to help you and your students find, evaluate, and cite free or licensed content for reuse and gain valuable insights that will help you seamlessly integrate copyright literacy into your teaching practices. As a result of this session, teachers will: 1. Understand the basic copyright laws and how they apply to educational settings. 2. Explore strategies for teaching students to remix and reuse content in their projects responsibly. 3. Gain practical resources and tools that support copyright education in the classroom. This session is appropriate for teachers at all technology levels.
