Navigating GenAI use in online Master’s programs requires a common language to create clarity around student and instructor expectations. This session explores the practical implementation of the AI Assessment Scale (AIAS) to bridge this communication gap between faculty and students. We will share data-driven lessons on how the AIAS enhances transparency, clarifies task-specific expectations, and serves as a vital force for academic integrity. Attendees will gain actionable strategies for deploying the scale to foster honest, productive AI-human collaboration in digital learning environments.
