February 4 @ 1:00 PM - 1:30 PM How AI Literacy Can and Will Impact Academic Integrity Academic integrity concerns often stem from fears that students might use Generative AI (GenAI) to cheat, leaving teachers wondering how to prevent it. While there’s no magic solution, clear communication with students is essential. This talk focuses on how fostering an appreciation of AI literacy, in conjunction with clearly communicated justifications for assignments, can reduce academic integrity anxieties. Students need to understand how GenAI works, including how it’s trained, the biases it may reproduce, its impact on natural resources, and how its responses are generated. Just as information and digital literacies are essential, AI literacy is a critical skill for today’s learners. In addition to a foundational AI literacy, it is important that students understand the purpose behind your course assessments and activities. When students see how activities: connect to their learning goals, impact their readiness for future education or workforce endeavors, acknowledge their experiences and understandings, and are not just 'busy work,' they are more likely to approach them with care and intention. This talk doesn’t cover using GenAI to design assessments or deploying AI detection tools. Instead, we’ll explore why communicating about AI literacy with your students can improve their engagement with your course assessments. We'll also cover ideas designed to strengthen your own assessment literacy. You’ll leave with resources to incorporate AI literacy into your teaching, regardless of your discipline or personal stance on GenAI. This session will run for 20 minutes, with an additional 10 minutes reserved for questions.
