Student Reasoning in the Age of AI

America/New_York
Online

As new generations of AI models demonstrate increasingly sophisticated reasoning capabilities, educators face a new challenge in preparing students to reason effectively within their discipline. This interactive workshop invites instructors to explore how AI impacts student reasoning and how instructors can sharpen our approaches to teaching and assessment in the age of AI. Through guided activities, instructors will explore strategies for designing assignments that both challenge AI systems and reveal the contours of student thinking. 

In this workshop instructors will:

  • Explore common reasoning pitfalls students succumb to when utilizing AI.

  • Explore strategies for creating assignments that both challenge AI and illuminate student reasoning

  • Apply best practices for creating tasks that can support learner reasoning and reduce cognitive surrender.
