Being Proactive – Rethinking Assessment & Integrity
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we tackle the uncomfortable truth: AI detectors are often unreliable—and when we rely on them, we risk damaging student trust more than protecting academic integrity. Instead of policing students, what if we redesigned our assessments?
We explore practical, future-ready strategies for 2026: shifting from product to process through oral defenses, in-class paper-and-pen writing, and AI co-authored projects where students document and reflect on their prompts. This episode challenges teachers to stop fighting AI—and start teaching with it, intentionally and transparently.
