The Opposite of Cheating: Teaching for Integrity in the Age of AI

Higher education stands at a crossroads. Economic, cultural, and technological forces are encouraging and permitting students to cheat in new and more pervasive ways. Generative AI has rendered current assessment regimes obsolete and called traditional pedagogical strategies into question across disciplines. How then, is an instructor to respond in the face of overwhelming change? In this talk, David Rettinger, coauthor of “The Opposite of Cheating: Teaching for Integrity in the Age of AI,” will outline a positive approach to academic integrity, one that focuses on student learning and relies on evidence-based principles for guiding our policies, practices, and pedagogy. He will discuss practical strategies that allow instructors to craft nuanced responses to artificial intelligence products, to reflect on what really matters and to foreground human interactions that foster student growth.
