CVC/@ONE Workshops​

  • AI Assignments and Assessments (registration link): All assignments are now AI assignments. In the same way that the ease of finding information on the internet forced faculty to rethink what homework students did and how they wanted them to do it, everyone needs an AI strategy for assignments and assessment. This webinar will cover both ways to force students to write and alternative creative assignments that incorporate AI. Through a wide diversity of examples, participants will also consider how we can reduce cheating and raise standards.
    • Mon, November 18, 2024; 3:00 PM
