Agenda:
How do we preserve the core values of academic integrity while acknowledging that AI is now a permanent part of the learning landscape?
Join us for a lively roundtable discussion where we will explore sustainable approaches to academic integrity in an AI-integrated environment.
Our expert panelists—Dr. Brian Arnold and Dr. Sara Haefeli—will share practical strategies for redesigning assignments, building student agency, and creating institutional infrastructure that supports academic integrity and pedagogical innovation while ensuring academic rigor.
We'll explore how to help students distinguish between AI as a learning scaffold versus academic dishonesty, examine the shift from product-based to process-based assessment, and discuss what faculty need most to navigate this complex landscape.
This interactive session, moderated by Dr. Rebecca Bryant, will offer practical guidance on shifting from policing AI to fostering meaningful engagement with course material. Panelists will share how they are redefining academic integrity in practice and what faculty support is needed as institutions adapt to new technological realities while maintaining student engagement and learning.
