Active Teaching Lab | Strengthen Student Engagement via AI-enhanced Assignments

Join us as Deanna Wesolowski shares how she increased student engagement and learning through the use of AI. Concerned students would use AI to cheat in her classics course, Dr. Wesolowski adapted: instead of asking students to write a traditional three-page paper, she tasked them with editing, revising and critiquing an essay written entirely by Chat-GPT. Dr. Wesolowski found the activity improved student knowledge of course content, boosted student interest and engagement, and highlighted to students the danger of relying solely on AI to write their papers. Join us as we examine Deanna’s example and explore methods for adapting her strategies in your own course.
