Introduction:
The Education Support Forum (TEDSF) is a non-profit organization committed to improving the quality of education in South Africa. With the increasing use of chatGPT technology in online education delivery, TEDSF is seeking to research the effects of this innovative tool on the education sector in South Africa.
