  • Writing Assignments in the Age of AI – Sovorel

    Writing Assignments in the Age of AI – Sovorel

    I put this infographic together to help many instructors that are struggling with this issue as they teach and are trying to keep students from using AI when they are not supposed to. Be sure to take every opportunity to help students learn about AI Literacy when you can, even when telling them that for this assignment/eval they won’t be able to use it.

    You as the instructor are the subject matter expert and must be the one deciding how AI will be used in your classroom and for your assignments/evaluations. For some assignments, the use of AI may not be the right answer in that you are trying to help them develop skills mastery, so they can properly gain the skill of what “right” looks like. Be sure to fully explain that to them so that they have full relevancy and understanding as to why they can or can not use AI.

    How to Use Canvas to NUDGE Students to Complete Assignments

    I am a TOTAL fan of the “message students who” feature on Canvas. Our university utilizes Canvas as our learning management platform. With this feature, I can message students who…

    have not completed assignments

    have not communicated with me

    have an average below a certain threshold

    have an average ABOVE a certain threshold

    have done a STELLAR job on assignments

    and MORE

    I use this feature for EVERYTHING! You should definitely try it out! It is free and I’ve convinced other faculty to use it as well!

    Check out my book – Retaining College Students Using Technology: A Guidebook for Student Affairs and Academic Affairs Professionals.

    Remember to order copies for your team as well!

    Thanks for visiting!
