Centering Student Perspectives on Education and Generative AI: Aligning Assignments, Assessments, and Expectations
Erica Bender, Kem Saichaie, and Jenna Vest
Thursday, September 12th, 2024
11:00-11:45 am
Description
The student voice is frequently missing from conversations about Generative AI in the classroom. In this session, we will share select findings from a recent survey of UCD undergraduate students (2024 Winter) that provide valuable insight to help establish expectations for GenAI uses in the classroom. The session will then connect student perspectives to strategies that allow instructors to use GenAI tools to design assignments and assessments that advance student learning. Participants will also leave with an action planning template to bring alignment between expectations, assignments, and assessments for GenAI course activities.
