About the Session
In this session, participants will examine how rubrics can be used to communicate clear expectations around generative AI (GenAI) use in assignments, reduce ambiguity in grading, and emphasize human qualities such as voice, authenticity, and referencing. Participants will be introduced to a model for redesigning rubrics to address appropriate AI use and will engage with the AI Assessment Scale (AIAS) as a tool to determine the role of GenAI in their assessments.
By the end of this session, participants will:
- Be familiar with a model for integrating GenAI into assignment design
- Reflect on their experience with generative tools and how those shapes rubric choices
- Co-create criteria that account for generative AI
