Teaching and Learning with AI Conference

Generative AI often places educators in a binary of total adoption or total avoidance. This presentation offers a middle path, exploring how to design nuanced assignments that enable students to explore practical AI applications while critically examining how these technologies reshape information, knowledge, authorship, ownership, and creativity. By highlighting carefully designed labs, the session demonstrates how instructors can guide students through sustained reflection. Participants will gain instructional strategies to help students maintain agency and a critical perspective in an increasingly AI-mediated world. #ai-literacy #student-agency #assignment-design
