Abstract

Given the rapid development of artificial intelligence, faculty members everywhere are worried about the challenges of fostering students’ learning and academic integrity. In addition to plagiarism, faculty are now facing AIgiarism, an academic fraud where students submit assignments produced by AI.  

Artificial intelligence tools are already able to produce many traditional assessment tasks. To ensure that students will learn from doing their assignments, with or without AI, current assessment practices must be revised. Faculty must design assessment tasks that will develop students’ skills, creativity, and integrity.  

In this presentation, an assessment model will be presented to show how authenticity and creativity must become fundamental characteristics of assessment planning if students are to write with integrity. A group discussion will follow the presentation.
