This year’s theme is “All hands on deck: Making academic integrity everyone’s job.”

The Doctor is In: Redesigning writing assessments with artificial intelligence and academic integrity in mind

1:00 pm – 2:00 pm | Zoom | Laurie McNeill, Laila Ferreira, Mike Jerowsky, Rebecca Carruthers Den Hoed, Moberley Luger, Bri Orr-Alvarez

Are you an instructor or TA who has recently revised or are thinking about how to rework your writing assignments to address either concerns about or opportunities created by GenAI? GAI’s emergence presents serious challenges for many of our written assessments – but you don’t have to meet those challenges all on your own!

Join this drop-in “clinic” session to brainstorm, troubleshoot, and/or review one of your writing assignments, getting one-on-one feedback from educators with experience in writing-based and integrity pedagogies from the project team for the We’re Only Human? large TLEF project. During this clinic, the project team will work with you to understand and unpack these challenges and reevaluate the learning goals, design, and assessment of student writing in this new context.

Voice, Privilege, and Integrity: Navigating Generative AI and Linguistic Imperialism in Academic Assessment

12:00 pm – 1:00 pm | Zoom | Brenda McDermott

Increasing academic integrity concerns around written assignments are increasingly discussed as unauthorized collaboration with Generative AI. These concerns are often associated with comments such as it doesn’t sound like the student or it isn’t the student’s voice. This presentation highlights how some voices are privileged in academic discourse and that Generative AI can be a tool for others to access that privilege. Using the framework of linguistic imperialism, this presentation reflects on how assessment alignment and critical reflection can increase assessment integrity and promote ethical generative AI use.
