How to Enable Safe Use of AI Within Assessments — A Case Study, Garnet Berry
In this session you will learn how it is possible to distinguish authentic student work from AI generated text. We will share efficacy from a case study on how validating original student writing can be used to enable the safe use of AI with assessment. Confirming authenticity (opposite of AI Detection) is a new and positive approach to academic integrity.
