Detecting, Deterring and Mitigating AI Dishonesty in the Classroom
Event Details
As artificial intelligence tools become more sophisticated and accessible, faculty face a growing challenge: How can they protect academic integrity without relying on detection tools that may be inaccurate or spending valuable time policing student work?
Join Strategic Ohio Council for Higher Education (SOCHE) on Wednesday, Nov. 18, at 2 p.m. ET for the virtual training, “Detecting, Deterring & Mitigating AI Dishonesty in the Classroom,” presented by Dr. Mary Myers, director of the Doctor of Strategic Communication program at Regent University.
This practical session will help faculty address AI-related academic dishonesty from multiple angles. Participants will explore how to recognize potential signs of unauthorized AI use, reduce opportunities for misuse through thoughtful course and assignment design, and respond fairly and consistently when concerns arise.
With AI tools evolving faster than many institutional policies, faculty need strategies they can put into practice now. Rather than depending solely on imperfect AI-detection software, participants will learn proactive approaches that can reduce misuse while supporting academic integrity. The session also will provide adaptable language for syllabi and assignment prompts, giving faculty useful starting points they can apply in their own courses.
Learning Goals
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Identify common indicators of AI-generated or AI-assisted student work and explain key limitations of AI-detection tools.
- Apply at least two practical strategies for redesigning assignments to reduce opportunities for AI misuse.
- Draft clear expectations for appropriate AI use in a syllabus or assignment prompt.
- Outline a fair and consistent process for addressing suspected cases of AI dishonesty.
No matter your current level of AI expertise, you’ll leave with concrete ideas for creating clearer expectations, designing more AI-resilient assignments and handling suspected misuse with greater consistency. Register today and gain strategies, language and tools you can begin incorporating into your courses right away.
