Caught in the Act… of Learning: AI’s Role in Making Student Thinking Visible

In a world where AI detection tools and academic integrity concerns are running rampant, what if we told you the solution isn’t detecting AI—but rather leveraging it strategically? This session explores how AI-powered activities can create unprecedented visibility into student thinking processes, offering valuable insights that traditional assessments often miss. We’ll examine practice processes and tools for strategically implementing AI to focus on illuminating the learning journey rather than just generating the final product. Attendees will also have dedicated time to practice building these types of activities, ensuring they leave with actionable strategies they can immediately apply in their own educational settings. Join us to learn how to circumvent cheating while simultaneously fostering deeper engagement, authentic assessment, and meaningful learning experiences.
