Session description

Artificial intelligence and chatbots have teachers wondering how they can prevent cheating and keep students engaged. This session provides examples and tips about how to use storytelling for students to show what they know and provide a learning experience where they don’t want to cheat in the first place.

Purpose & objective

This session helps educators see how authentic project-based learning experiences can sidestep the challenges of cheating (with or without AI), while providing purpose and excitement about learning that minimizes the desire for students to cheat in the first place. Classroom case studies and workflow tips will be provided.
