Join Technology Engagement Director Dr. Andrew Rechnitz and Asst. Director of Information Literacy and Instruction Audrey Stewart for an interactive working session on AI ethics in the classroom. We’ll collaboratively explore the ethical challenges faculty face and flesh out policy ideas to help navigate these issues. This session will be driven by your experiences and needs, ensuring that we address real-world scenarios and create practical, inclusive guidelines. We will also introduce the AI Assessment Scale (AIAS), a framework for designing assessments that incorporate generative AI. The AIAS features five levels ranging from “No AI” to “Full AI” to guide instructors in crafting assignments across disciplines. This session will help faculty develop strategies for leveraging GenAI to enhance student learning while upholding academic integrity.
