Instead of a Paper: Podcast, Blogs and Other Things AI Struggles With … But Students Like
Presented by: Dr. Christopher McDonald, professor, political science
Over the past few years, I have been moving away from traditional research/term papers and toward alternative ways in which students can demonstrate knowledge. The recent concern over AI has added another dimension to this. This presentation will showcase the sorts of things students produce, some of their observations on the process and a basic outline of how I set these up in Canvas (which currently does not have a Blog function).
Note: Faculty can receive one point toward their Training and Innovation professional development total for successful completion of this workshop.
