Generative AI tools have disrupted traditional notions of academic integrity, prompting many institutions to prioritize AI detection strategies. However, punitive or restrictive policies risk stifling innovation and deep learning. What if we shifted our assessment philosophy towards transparency, co-creation, and ethical development, and away from concerns of academic integrity? Supporting student agency, discipline-specific expectations, and human-in-the-loop course models as core classroom practices can instill integrity.

Come join your EDUCAUSE community for the virtual New Approaches to Assessment Design for AI-Enabled Learning Symposium. Insightful presentations, small group discussions, and activities will be the foundation of this learning experience. Participants will be encouraged to step back from policing mindsets and instead to realign assessment integrity with student learning goals.

Learning Outcomes:

• Differentiate between holistic AI-aware and surveillance-based approaches to academic integrity.
• Implement learning-centered, AI-aware modes of assessment in the classroom.
• Apply practical frameworks to revise existing assessments so that objectives, integrity expectations, and feedback mechanisms are explicitly aligned.
• Create proactive academic integrity and responsible use policies to foster ethical, transparent use of AI in academic contexts.
