1101: A Red-Light/ Green-Light Upgrade: Using AI “Dispositions” to Inform (Realistic) Class Policy

Session Location: SIS Founders Room (T7)

Date: Wednesday, August 20

Time: 2:00 PM – 3:15 PM

Presenters: Kelly Joyner (Director, Writing Studies Program, CAS | Literature) & Alison Thomas (Assistant Dean for Academic Integrity)

Session Description:

This session will first present how students are using generative AI, with insights from the Office of Academic Integrity. Then the presenters will guide participants in identifying “dispositions” toward AI use; inspired by language from the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL) Information Literacy Framework, this entails thinking about the attitude, approach, and/or behaviors you expect in relation to these technologies. The discussion will focus on strategies for revising syllabus language and assignments with this framing, instead of a yes-no-maybe approach to course policy.
