Revising assessments and policies around AI
A hands-on learning community
Frustrated or overwhelmed by student AI use? Wondering how your department can incorporate AI thoughtfully and with appropriate safeguards? This hands-on learning community will provide structure to develop the assessment strategies and policies you need to better support students through this challenging time. Individuals or departmental teams will work with instructional designers from the CTT to complete projects addressing their specific needs at the intersection of AI and pedagogy.
For example, individual instructors can use this as an opportunity to develop assignments, learning activities, or course policies related to AI (incorporating it into the class, discouraging / preventing its use, or anything in between). Groups of instructors or administrators could work on developing departmental policies, curriculum plans, or common assessments / classroom activities.
