Event Details
Want to integrate authentic assessment into your courses but not sure where to start? Are you looking for ways to improve student agency and ownership of the learning process? Project-Based Learning with Generative AI can be an effective way to mirror professional tasks students will encounter in future teams. Structuring a learning experience around an authentic problem can also demonstrate for students how large language models are more effective at brainstorming than generating unique insights and solutions. Working in an assignment planning journal, participants will follow the PAIR framework to co-design a project-based assignment, evaluate that assignment according to the High-Quality Project Based Learning Framework, and draft an AI-support policy for a specific assignment.

Event Details
This online workshop introduces participants to the “writer in the loop” model for teaching students how to ethically and effectively use large language models (AI). The “writer in the loop” builds off the “human in the loop” literature on prompt engineering to develop a framework that maximizes student learning. There are two primary goals: 1) help faculty and staff develop an intellectual framework for when AI is appropriate for student use; and 2) develop skills in teaching the ethical and effective discipline-specific use of AI in the classroom. Come with questions and any insights you might want to share.
