Beyond Detection: Designing AI-Resistant Assessments and Verifying AI-Generated ContentTime: 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM CDT
Room: TBD
Fee: $200
This interactive, hands-on workshop looks at how generative AI is changing academic work and how educators can respond with authentic assessment design and AI-content verification strategies. Rather than focusing solely on detecting AI usage, the session emphasizes creating learning experiences that promote critical thinking, process-oriented learning, and responsible AI use.
Participants will explore methods for developing AI-resistant assignments, including scaffolded reflections, hyper-local research prompts, oral defense activities, collaborative exercises, and discipline-specific authentic assessments. The workshop will also provide practical techniques for validating AI-generated content through lateral reading, source triangulation, bias detection, and evidence verification.
Throughout the session, attendees will participate in hands-on activities designed to expose inaccuracies, hallucinations, unsupported claims, and misleading conclusions in AI-generated outputs. Participants will leave with adaptable classroom tools, assignment templates, and verification frameworks that support academic integrity and human-centered learning outcomes.
