Description: Building Your Own Multi-Pronged Approach to Reducing AI Misuse in Writing Assignments

Thu, September 18, 2025; 1:00 PM

Duration: 60 minutes

Presenter: Anna Mills

Most educators now acknowledge that no single strategy can prevent students from outsourcing their writing to AI—especially in online, asynchronous courses. And yet we must not and need not abandon writing in our pedagogy; its value for learning remains. This webinar will make the case that a well-designed combination of strategies can make AI misuse much less likely.

We will explore three complementary approaches: designing assignments that motivate authentic engagement, implementing accountability measures that respect the student-teacher relationship, and guiding students toward pedagogical applications of AI that stimulate rather than replace writing processes. To support these approaches, we will share resources like AI policies, prompt templates, and examples of tools. Along the way, we’ll reflect on pros and cons and workload considerations for each strategy.

Come ready to think creatively, question assumptions, and begin crafting your own academic integrity plan that aligns with your context and teaching philosophy.
