SUMMARY:TLC Convocation 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Opposite of Cheating: Rethinking Instruction in the Age of AI\nDavid Rettinger\, Applied Professor and Undergraduate Program Director at the University of Tulsa\nHigher education stands at a crossroads. Generative AI is a powerful and flawed tool that may render traditional assessments obsolete and call fundamental pedagogical assumptions into question across all disciplines. Yet this moment of disruption also presents an opportunity to refocus on what truly matters: student learning and growth. In this session\, David Rettinger will outline a positive\, evidence-based approach to academic integrity in the age of AI\, encouraging all of us to move beyond policing to authentic learning. Together\, we will take an evidence-based approach toward change\, by rethinking assessments to focus on durable human skills\, by learning to communicate the value of higher education to our students\, and by evaluating strategies for integrating AI thoughtfully into our courses. Attendees will leave with both conceptual frameworks for decision-making and concrete tools for AI integration\, communicating about integrity\, and reducing misconduct through improved teaching and learning. \nRegister to attend in person or watch remotely
