Artificial Intelligence (AI)

The topic of this session is leveraging AI for creating course content. Currently, Canvas does not have an active, integrated AI component, but AI tools such as Chat-GPT, Gemini and Copilot are handy for developing course materials, particularly more rote content such as syllabi and lesson planning. Beyond structural considerations, AI can assist with brainstorming lecture, project and assignment materials. Optimally, AI can enhance your vision for the course without replacing it. Some examples we will look at in this session:

• Using AI to create a syllabus
• Using AI to create a lesson plan
• Using AI to create a rubric (note that a rubric cannot be imported into the Canvas rubric tool; it would need to be copied/pasted in)

We can also use AI for suggestions on assignments and quiz questions. AI is, in the words of Wharton professor and AI researcher Ethan Mollick, a "co-intelligence" that feels like a collaborator but is only reflecting back what you put into it.

Explore how artificial intelligence can support every stage of the assessment process—from creating rubrics, quizzes, and exams to streamlining grading workflows. This session will cover practical faculty use cases, institutional guidelines and policy considerations, and help participants understand when AI can enhance assessment practices and where human oversight remains essential.

Join us for an introduction to proctoring solutions supported at UM System: Respondus LockDown Browser and Honorlock. This session is designed to help faculty understand how each tool supports academic integrity in online assessments, including key features, setup basics, and the student testing experience.

We will also explore the growing impact of artificial intelligence on academic integrity, with a focus on emerging AI-enabled test-cheating threats. The session will highlight common risks, such as AI-assisted answer generation and content sharing, and discuss practical countermeasures available to instructors.

Whether you are new to online proctoring or looking to strengthen your current practices, this session offers actionable insights and an opportunity for discussion.

This session is part of our series on Artificial Intelligence.

According to a Missouri Online faculty survey in the Spring of 2023, 98% of UM faculty have concerns about the use of tools such as ChatGPT in assignments and 68% on tests. In this session, we will review different ways AI can be used for plagiarism and cheating, talk about AI text detectors and non-technological ways of looking for AI-generated content, along with the limits of both, strategies for approaching AI cheating with students, and discuss the current UM policies regarding unauthorized use of artificially generated content.
