GenAI Assessment Showcase (with faculty examples) (CTE7564)

Thursday, October 15, 2026 10:30 am - 12:00 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)

Location: In-person, MC 2036

Facilitators: Veronica Stephenson and Katie McElroy

Description

​How are instructors rethinking assessment in response to Generative AI (GenAI)? This fast-paced showcase features a series of short presentations highlighting concrete examples from multiple disciplines. Presenters will share assessment approaches that seek to mitigate, permit, or integrate AI use, offering practical strategies, lessons learned, and reflections on student learning.

The assessment showcase does not necessarily involve using AI tools in teaching; rather, we'll discuss how instructors have adapted their assessment practices in response to the changing landscape created by GenAI. 

Attendees will leave with ideas they can apply in their own courses.

Presenters’ names and disciplines will be posted soon!
