Join the Center for Faculty Excellence and University Libraries for the AI-Ready Assignment Design series. This interactive series will empower you with practical strategies to design assessments that promote meaningful and authentic student learning while fostering responsible AI use. If you attend three sessions in this series, you will be eligible to receive the AI-Ready Assignment Design email signature stamp.

Each session in this series tackles a unique aspect of assessment design, providing you with concrete tools to navigate the evolving academic landscape influenced by generative AI. From recognizing AI-generated writing to crafting clear assignments and developing transparent rubrics, you'll explore techniques to ensure that assessments remain relevant, fair, and impactful. Engage in hands-on activities, analyze real-world examples, and leave each workshop with actionable skills to enhance your teaching practices in the age of AI.

Many instructors claim to know AI-generated writing when they see it but it’s difficult to implicate a student of using AI to complete assignments without proof. There are markers of AI-generated writing, and definitive methods to determine if a student has used AI to complete writing assignments. As a group, we will analyze a text to determine if it is written by generative AI and discuss approaches for empathetic student conversations after detecting AI-generate writing.  

In this workshop, facilitators will review the markers of text generative written by large language AI models and discuss strategies to identify authentic student writing, and present practical classroom conversations about ethical AI use.  

In this session, you will:

• Describe the markers of text written by generative AI. 
• Analyze a text to determine if it is written by generative AI.  
• Discuss approaches for student mediation of generative AI use.  

This session is part of the AI-Ready Assignment Design Series offered by the University Libraries and the Center for Faculty Excellence (CFE). Participants who attend three sessions in this series may receive a AI-Ready Assignment Design email signature stamp.

Struggling to navigate assignment design in a world of ever-evolving generative AI? In this interactive workshop, you'll be introduced to the Transparency in Learning and Teaching framework (TILT). The TILT framework is an existing evidence-based approach that can help you communicate the key components of your assignments and explicitly address the use of generative AI. Through practical examples, you'll apply these components to example assignments and create a plan to design or re-design your own assignment. After this session, you'll be equipped with the knowledge and tools to enhance your assessment strategies, ensuring clarity and fairness.

In this session, you will:

• Describe the components of a transparent assignment including providing detailed information about the use of AI for the assignment.   
• Apply the components of transparent assignment design to an example assignment.  
• Create a plan to design or re-design an assignment using transparent assignment design components.

This session is part of the AI-Ready Assignment Design Series offered by the University Libraries and the Center for Faculty Excellence (CFE). Participants who attend three sessions in this series may receive the AI-Ready Assignment Design email signature stamp.

Rubrics are powerful tools to guide students and evaluate authentic learning outcomes, but AI poses unique challenges to assessment. During this interactive workshop, you will explore rubric design best practices with a focus on transparency, empowering students with clear guidelines for success. Together, we’ll critically evaluate sample rubrics to identify potential pitfalls where AI might undermine your assessment goals, such as ambiguous criteria. By the end of the session, you'll have the tools and knowledge to design or re-design detailed rubrics that foster critical thinking and enhance student learning.

In this session, you will:

• Describe rubric design practices that support the assessment of authentic student work.
• Critically evaluate sample rubrics to identify areas where generative AI use could undermine assessment goals. 
• Create a plan to design or re-design a rubric that effectively assesses authentic student work.
