Abstract

The novel study explores the implications of integrating ChatGPT into higher education settings across universities in the USA. A quantitative survey was distributed to gather insights from faculty, staff, and students regarding ChatGPT's impact on pedagogy, academic integrity, and educational policy. The 22-item questionnaire, administered through convenient sampling, received responses from 56 participants. Findings showed participants' academic backgrounds, their self-reported perceptions of ChatGPT's impact on learners, impact on academic policy and practice, and e-learning were statistically significant predictors of its integration, The study identifies statistically significant correlations between ChatGPT use and learners' academic effort, creativity, communication quality, and the impact on academic policies and practices. ChatGPT can be both an intelligent tool for knowledge generation and a threat to academic integrity. Provided is an overview of the limitations of this study and make recommendations for future studies-emphasising the potential impacts of ChatGPT on the learner's effort, level of engagement, and creativity.
