Assessment and Security
What do you do to verify learning or authorship?
Click here to see 2 strategies I use that do not include AI detection software (though I think it is fine to use detection software as part of a larger strategy).
Assignment and Process Design
How do students show their work and have ownership over what they learn?
Check out an example of my “show your work” process based assignments that will be more obvious if hacked with AI.
Clear AI Expectations and Boundaries
How do you tell students what AI use is okay for this assignment and what is not?
Here I have a prompt that I use to create all my assignments that includes specific AI guidelines for everything students turn in.
Student Agency and Ownership
Where do students have real choices or control over their work?
Here is a 2 part assignment sequence I love where students first use AI to create their own homework assignment and then turn that assignment in themselves.
Relationships and Showing Care
How do you build relationships with students so they are motivated not to cheat?
Check out this YouTube clip of my “Student Acknowledgement” that I use to create connection and safety early in the semester. If we are in a crowded room, please use headphones or mute and turn on closed captioning.
Showing Why Doing the Work Matters
How do you explain why doing the work themselves actually matters?
This blog post is designed to be shared with your students as a seminar or discussion piece.
Grading and Incentives
How does your grading system reduce stress and reward learning over shortcuts?
My favorite solution to this challenge is competency based grading that I explain to my students in this YouTube video. If we are in a crowded room, please use headphones or mute and turn on closed captioning.
Reducing Pressure on Students
What lowers stress, confusion, or last-minute desperation in your class?
For me, redundancy when it comes to kindness in communication is the most important thing.
