2026 Elevated Teaching Summit

Worried that generative AI makes it too easy for students to take shortcuts on assignments? This session reframes the challenge, moving beyond detection to focus on redesigning assessments for a new era. Just as calculators changed how we teach math, AI pushes us to evaluate higher-order thinking, not just information recall. We'll explore how to develop AI-resistant assignment designs using project-based learning and other innovative approaches. Discover how to create assessments that encourage students to use Google AI as a partner in the learning process—a tool for brainstorming, research, and revision—all while upholding academic integrity. You will leave with a portfolio of new assignment ideas and a clear framework for creating assessments that prepare students to use AI ethically and effectively.
