Should educators tell students if they’re using AI for course materials? Drawing from empirical research on AI disclosure and source credibility (Powers, Johnson & Killian, 2023), this session examines how transparency about AI-assisted course development impacts instructor credibility and student trust. Research findings in the aforementioned study reveal disclosure reduces perceived trustworthiness, suggesting tension between transparency and pedagogical effectiveness. Participants will explore when, how, and whether to disclose AI use in their own teaching materials. #AIethics #facultydevelopment #transparency
