Teaching and Learning with AI Conference

In accelerated, blended humanities courses—particularly at STEM-focused institutions—students increasingly replace primary source reading with generative AI summaries, weakening comprehension and discussion. This session presents a practice-based teaching model that integrates GenAI as a structured reading-and-thinking scaffold rather than an integrity problem. Using scaffolded prompt-engineering assignments aligned with weekly primary sources, students engage GenAI in dialogic interpretation, comparison, and critical questioning. Participants will examine the assignment design, rubric, and coaching model, and leave with a transferable framework for ethically using AI to support reading-intensive courses without sacrificing rigor. #AI-integrated-pedagogy #prompt-engineering #academic-integrity-by-design
