Addressing AI With Students

Academic Integrity & Preventing Cheating

This quote realistically sums up the current state of detecting student misuse of Gen AI:

Honestly, without taking their computer and checking their browser history, revision history of the paper, and computer cache you have no way to “prove” that the student used AI, the AI detectors don’t prove anything, they just analyze probability. So, the only real option is to get a confession out of the student.”   ~Hope International University’s Faculty AI Guide, Aug 16, 2024

Turnitin (TII) is Chemeketa’s plagiarism checker which is integrated into Canvas.  Since AI-detection tools are not yet proving conclusive, and for other reasons similar to Vanderbilt’s, Chemeketa doesn’t license TII’s AI-detection tool.  Suggestions to help prevent cheating:

  • Use one of TII’s tools to review your assignments and discussion prompts for Gen AI vulnerabilities: AI misuse checklist and AI misuse rubric.  

  • Try a commonly-shared activity by faculty in AI webinars by asking students to discuss the ethical use of AI and task them with recommending guidelines for AI use in your course. Faculty who have used this strategy report that students tend to be more strict than the professor, and the social pressure from peers was more effective than any lecture.

If you suspect a student of misusing AI in their coursework, here are recommended actions and resources:

AI & Assessment

  • The Monsha post 30 Ideas for Generating AI-Resilient Assessments offers [relatively] simple and useful strategies.

  • Use AI to make your assessments AI-proof. The Prompt Library for assessment tasks from AI for Education provides ready-made prompt templates to help you recreate assessments and complete administrative tasks with Gen AI chatbots.

  • Go deeper into AI-proof assessments in CAI’s workshop on Leveraging Assessment for Learning, offered online this fall. Runs Nov. 4-Nov. 25, in Canvas. Register for CRN 33593

Building Student AI Literacy

Today’s students want to learn about and use generative AI in their college studies. A recent survey showed that 70% of college graduates wished 30-11AI were included in their courses and 55% felt unprepared for the workforce, as reported in Inside Higher Ed, July 2024.  Here are resources to build AI literacy with students:
