This chapter describes a research study of first-year college students and their perceptions of personal and school-based research and suggests instructional strategies to bridge their everyday digital research practices with academic knowledge construction.

While AI has the potential to streamline assessment development in higher education, there are concerns about its reliability, fairness, and potential to perpetuate bias. This study sought to understand the perceptions of academics and teaching and learning (T&L) specialists on the use of AI tools and large language models on assessment…

ChatGPT and generative AI (GenAI) are disrupting students' traditional writing process. Although this development may seem novel, new technologies and writing practices have always affected the classroom, as research in composition shows. Turning to this existing scholarship, I show how composition studies provide a useful framework for thinking…

This study explores the use of generative AI, specifically Google's Bard and OpenAI's ChatGPT, to enhance qualitative research within higher education assessment, focusing on institutional assessment practitioners. Using a dataset focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) from annual faculty assessment reports, we tested traditional…

This chapter investigates the integration of generative AI (GenAI), specifically ChatGPT, into institutional and course-level assessment at Western New England University. It explores the potential of GenAI to streamline the assessment process, making it more efficient, equitable, and objective. Through the development of a proprietary GenAI tool,…

This article examines the transformative impact of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in enhancing feedback quality in a Bachelor of Science course. It the challenges of providing personalized, timely feedback to students in larger educational settings, focusing on the use of GenAI to analyze and respond to student logbooks. These logbooks…

This chapter invites instructors to consider practices to help students explore the intersection of social media and academic digital spaces. It argues that doing so increases digital literacy and digital citizenship in students.

This chapter presents a critical analysis of generative AI (GenAI) detection tools in higher education assessments. The rapid advancement and widespread adoption of GenAI, particularly in education, necessitates a reevaluation of traditional academic integrity mechanisms. I explore the effectiveness, vulnerabilities, and ethical implications of AI…

This article explores the intersection between academic integrity and generative AI (GenAI). It presents a tested framework for a versatile 3-h module applicable to various disciplines. Since ChatGPT's emergence, GenAI's impact on academic integrity has raised concerns, challenged established norms, and blurred lines of authorship. Engaging…

This chapter describes a pedagogy-first summer faculty development program designed to support faculty who want to add digital components to a course or academic program.

In this article, we investigate the critical intersections of AI, academic integrity, and disability in the context of a large undergraduate course. Our aim was to adapt the course to respond to generative AI (GenAI) to avoid entrenching barriers for students, and instead teach them how to use GenAI tools in ways that deepen their learning and…
