Stop Policing AI. Start Designing It.

Friday June 12, 2026 1:00pm - 2:00pm EDT

Most classrooms already function as AI systems—rules, feedback loops, incentives, and automation only poorly designed. This poster challenges the dominant academic narrative of AI as a tool to be monitored or banned and instead presents AI as a teaching system faculty must intentionally design. Through a bold visual “Agent Blueprint,” participants will see how syllabi, assessments, policies, and accessibility choices quietly shape AI behavior in their courses. The poster reframes academic integrity, ethics, and pedagogy as design problems, not enforcement problems—offering a new, uncomfortable, and empowering way to think about teaching with AI.#DesignNotDetection #AIAsSystem #AcademicReckoning

AI Prompting and the Basics of Communication

Friday June 12, 2026 3:40pm - 4:40pm EDT

AI "prompting" has emerged as a critical communication skill. This talk examines how popular prompting advice from companies like Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI aligns with classic communication principles, namely asking who, what, why, and how. In this context, I explore what prompting enhances, obsolesces, retrieves from the past, and what problems emerge when the act of prompting is taking over by the AI. Effective AI education benefits from integrating communication and media literacy alongside technical skills. Connecting AI practices to foundational communication theory helps learners engage these tools with greater awareness, responsibility, and ethical consideration.#Prompting #Communication #Literacy

Analyzing the impact of AI based writing assignments on student perception and performance

Friday June 12, 2026 3:40pm - 4:40pm EDT

Generative AI models have had a profound impact on how students engage with learning materials. The use of AI tools has become increasingly prevalent among students for academic purposes, however, there is a lack of comprehensive studies assessing their overall effectiveness in enhancing learning outcomes. In this study, students in a biology course were administered writing assignments to assess understanding and application of course material. Students in two different course sections were either allowed to use AI tools or their use was prohibited. Student perception of AI usage and performance was measured using surveys, reflective writing, assignments and open-ended questions. #assessment #peer-review #writing

Toward a Culturally Responsive Critical AI Literacy Pedagogy

Friday June 12, 2026 3:40pm - 4:40pm EDT

Critical AI literacy (CAIL; Basgier & Wilkes, 2025) pedagogy is increasingly common in higher education as a response to the proliferation of generative AI (GenAI) technologies. Nevertheless, discussions of culturally responsive (Ladson-Billings, 1995) CAIL are uncommon. Accordingly, this poster will detail how faculty and writing center consultant student workers used competencies pursuant to information literacy pedagogy—privacy literacy, environment and health considerations, and impacts on democracy—to inform a CAIL. In doing so, the presenters highlight how further research is needed to determine how students’ identities impact their perception of GenAI and how CAIL can impact students’ decisions on how and when to use GenAI.
