Session Description:

This session will introduce the concept of “ungrading” and how it benefits both students and faculty. What opportunities might ungrading methodologies offer to help faculty deal with the challenges they face from generative AI? Most ungrading approaches center motivation and its impact on learning. This session argues that thinking about motivation through this lens can also help faculty better navigate these new AI waters.
