2.X: Now That AI Has Changed the Classroom: Fostering Trust and Transparency with Students

How can we navigate students' use of generative AI (GenAI) in the classroom while fostering trust and transparency? What strategies can we use to spark meaningful conversations with students about AI's role in their learning?

Join us for an engaging workshop designed to support instructors in effectively communicating with their students about GenAI, from course policies and assignments to open dialogues in the classroom. This workshop has been co-developed with a team of undergraduate students from a variety of disciplines to illuminate their unique perspectives. You’ll have the chance to consult with these undergraduates, who will share their insights and experiences with GenAI.

Through this workshop, you will have the opportunity to:

• Recognize key GenAI concepts and tools and how students are likely to engage with GenAI
• Consider how GenAI intersects with your pedagogical goals and values
• Articulate an AI course policy aligned with your values and goals for student learning
• Identify strategies for transparently communicating with students about appropriate AI use

Tailored for instructors at all levels of AI experience, this workshop emphasizes uplifting student voices to foster trust and transparency. With student consultations, independent work, and peer feedback, you will leave with valuable insights and concrete approaches that you can apply to your instruction.
