This session by Ashley Evans explores two complementary approaches to Gen AI in the classroom: AI-resistant assignment strategies that limit AI short-cuts and safeguard authentic learning, and AI-inclusive strategies that teach students to use AI responsibly, transparently, and critically. Assignment examples include submissions from Jefferson College faculty. This presentation was sponsored by the Office of the Vice President of Academic Affairs, the Center for Teaching & Learning, and Jefferson College Library.
