Principles for GenAI Use in First-Year Composition at UCF: Enacting Program Values through Collective Action to Support Instructors and Students

Thursday June 11, 2026 2:20pm - 2:50pm EDT

Lafayette 4

In 2025, the First-Year Composition (FYC) program at the University of Central Florida (UCF) chose to engage in intentional conversations about the development of a meaningful resource, Principles for GenAI Use in FYC at UCF, that would best serve instructors and students as they navigated Generative Artificial Intelligence in their composition courses. Throughout this presentation, we invite others to examine their values and connect those values to GenAI policies, procedures, and guidelines to serve as a useful resource in their own local contexts. We outline how a collaborative, values-driven approach can sustain programmatic commitments in the midst of ever-changing conversations around GenAI.

What AI-Ready Actually Looks Like: Designing Assignments Where the Process Is the Proof

Thursday June 11, 2026 3:40pm - 4:10pm EDT

Lafayette 4

“AI-ready” gets used as a slogan more than a design goal. We’ll show what it looks like inside an actual assignment. Walk through a Peer Review activity using Acai Feedback Coach to scaffold review quality in real time, a Reflection Coach prompt that captures student reasoning between drafts, and a Rubric Assistant plus Grading Assistant pairing that helps instructors design and implement these activities at scale.

The result: process assignments that students can’t fake, and that instructors can actually grade.

From Policy to Practice: An Institutional Strategy for Advancing GenAI Fluency

Thursday June 11, 2026 4:20pm - 4:50pm EDT

Lafayette 4

As the applications of GenAI within postsecondary education continue to evolve, the need for promoting GenAI fluency among all university constituents is critical. We will open this interactive session by using a think-pair-share exercise to introduce the Scaffolded Artificial Intelligence Literary (SAIL) framework and explore its relevance to designing institutional GenAI principles and policies. We will then establish connections between these principles/policies and outcomes associated with implementation of a GenAI faculty, staff, and graduate student/postdoc professional development opportunity on our campus, prompting attendees to reflect on how they might apply what they have learned in their own contexts.

Using Critical Reflection to Support Significant Learning with GenAI: A Learn-Change-Grow Strategy

Friday June 12, 2026 9:40am - 10:10am EDT

Lafayette 4

Significant learning produces lasting, transformative changes in how individuals think, act, and view themselves (Fink, 2013). We developed a Learn-Change-Grow critical reflection strategy based on Borton's (1970) What? So What? Now What? model. This strategy guided doctoral students (N = 32) through weekly critical reflections of their genAI use for the semester-long authentic course project and for their genAI use in academic and workplace environments. Qualitative analysis of over 100,000 words of student reflections showed evidence of growth across all six categories of significant learning. This session shares the reflection strategy and implementation guidance attendees can adapt for their own teaching. #critical-reflection #significant-learning

Don’t Fail the AI Sniff Test: An Aristotelian Cure for Stale Prose

Friday June 12, 2026 10:20am - 10:50am EDT

Lafayette 4

Many professors encourage students to use AI in their research/writing process, then struggle when students ask exactly how many AI-generated ideas/how much AI generated prose can appear in their academic writing. Too often the rule becomes: if the writing fails the professor's AI sniff test, it’s a problem. This session offers a rhetorically grounded framework for defining “meaningful human contribution.” Participants will leave with a lesson plan on the pitfalls of generic prose, an "updated annotated bibliography” assignment that uses Notebook LM to synthesize research, and a process-based, collaborative assessment strategy. #AIWriting #Assessment

Creative Agency in the Age of Generative AI: Authorship, Disclosure, and Rights in Higher Education

Friday June 12, 2026 1:00pm - 1:30pm EDT

Lafayette 4

Generative AI brings longstanding tensions around authorship, derivation, and creative agency into sharp focus across higher education. This presentation offers a cross-disciplinary framework for addressing these issues, developed through the lens of music education, where questions of ownership, influence, and style have long been contested. Drawing on technology integration research, contemporary copyright law, and Creative Commons models, we examine how generative AI complicates existing understandings of authorship. We propose a creative-rights approach that emphasizes transparency, ethical decision-making, and risk management, positioning students as active agents navigating AI-assisted creative work. #authorship #creative-rights #creative-agency

The Disclosure Dilemma: Navigating AI Transparency in Course Materials

Friday June 12, 2026 1:40pm - 2:10pm EDT

Lafayette 4

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

The AI That Refuses to Do Your Homework: Designing Chatbots That Actually Teach Instead of Cheat

Friday June 12, 2026 2:20pm - 2:50pm EDT

Lafayette 4

Can we build an AI tutor structurally incapable of academic dishonesty? While many focus on detection, this session offers a proactive alternative: The General, from The Citadel, Military College of South Carolina. Drawing on nearly two decades of teaching, this calculus agent uses a Strategic Socratic Method that refuses to give solutions. It offers one‑step guidance, requires students to explain their reasoning, and flags misconceptions without resolving them. Introduced transparently, it shifts students from answer‑seeking to genuine explanation, mirroring effective one‑on‑one tutoring. Attendees will see interaction examples and explore how this replicable framework supports critical thinking across disciplines.#AcademicIntegrity #PromptEngineering

(RESHEDULED) Democratizing Voices: An AI-Enhanced Workflow for Multimodal Francophone OER

Friday June 12, 2026 3:00pm - 3:30pm EDT

Lafayette 4

This presentation demonstrates a strategic AI-assisted workflow for developing culturally inclusive multimodal OER for language education that centers global communities beyond traditional French-centric narratives. Given persistent Internet and algorithm bias towards European French perspectives, creating truly diverse materials requires intentional intervention; "Francophone diversity" will not emerge accidentally from standard searches or AI queries. By leveraging carefully prompted AI tools for HTML-based visual content creation, contextualized audio scripts, and culturally grounded vocabulary materials, faculty can efficiently produce high-quality resources representing diverse regional voices. The session shares a replicable design process that positions AI as a collaborative tool requiring critical oversight and exxplicit AI literacy to democratize the cultures appearing in educational materials.

Designing AI-Resilient Assessments That Support Learning and Integrity

Friday June 12, 2026 3:40pm - 4:10pm EDT

Lafayette 4

As generative AI becomes common in the workplace, coursework must evolve to prepare students for professional expectations. For many faculty, the focus has been addressing AI misuse rather than on how appropriate AI use can support learning and workforce readiness. This session reframes the challenge by showing how small, intentional changes to assessment design can shift that dynamic. Using examples drawn from curriculum alignment and assessment review work, such as adding a brief decision reflection or process checkpoint to an existing assignment, participants will see how AI-resilient design can support ethical and creative AI use while maintaining clarity, rigor, and accessibility without relying on surveillance tools or AI detection software. #assessmentdesign #academicintegrity #aipedagogy

The "Boss" of the Bot: Empowering Faculty Control through RAG and Socratic Prompting

Saturday June 13, 2026 10:20am - 10:50am EDT

Lafayette 4

Standard cloud-based LLMs often present two major hurdles for faculty: "hallucinations" that lead students away from course facts and a "give-away-the-answer" style that bypasses critical thinking. This session showcases a practical solution using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to build course-specific AI tutors. Participants will see how instructors can serve as the "boss" of the AI by indexing their own specific materials—lecture recordings, lab manuals, and PDFs—and utilizing a pre-configured Socratic system prompt. We will share data from a Fall 2025 pilot where 91% of students reported the AI helped them identify specific weaknesses in their understanding. Attendees will leave with a blueprint for creating a disciplined AI assistant that stays grounded in their content and their teaching philosophy.
