Whether you want students to complete assignments without the help of generative AI or you want them to engage with it proficiently to build critical literacies, there are steps for assignment design and communication that can support student learning. Join us for this virtual session that consists of two parts. The first half will feature strategies that incentivize students doing their own work without the use of GAI.
