The second workshop in the CTL/Library (Academic Integrity Matters Program) series on GenAI and academic integrity, “Embedding Transparency into GenAI Use on Assignments,” expanded its focus on delineating expectations around GenAI use from course policies and assignment descriptions to techniques that can be used in conjunction with existing assignments to reinforce and reward academic integrity. The workshop began with […]

A common challenge for students using GenAI is that outputs seem accurate, convincing, and even potentially better than what they envision being able to produce on their own. When the product is the goal and the final submission the grade that matters, then students can readily discount the value of the process. Assignments that specify how AI can be used can also employ agency tracking, which makes explicit expected student input (% human time/effort) to maximize human contributions, retain control in decision-making, and minimize outsourcing thinking. Both instructor and students can tailor the Agency Tracking Flowchart to an assignment involving GenAI. An instructor can indicate the percent of human effort recommended for each step based on […]
