AI or Authentic: Identifying Machine-Generated Texts in Assignments

Fri, Apr 25, 2025 11am to 12:30pm

Virtual Event

Facilitators::   Laura Sheets, Assistant Professor/Instruction Services Librarian, Library Teaching & Learning  Chelsea Chandler, Director, Center for Faculty Excellence  Session Type: Interactive Workshop  Session Category: Outcomes & Assessment  Duration: 1.5 hours  Location: Zoom  Description & Learning Outcomes:   Many instructors claim to know AI-generated writing when they see it but it’s difficult to implicate a student of using AI to complete assignments without proof. There are markers of AI-generated writing, and definitive methods to determine if a student has used AI to complete writing assignments. As a group, we will analyze a text to determine if it is written by generative AI and discuss approaches for empathetic student conversations after detecting AI-generate writing.    In this workshop, facilitators will review the markers of text generative written by large language AI models and discuss strategies to identify authentic student writing, and present practical classroom conversations about ethical AI use.    In this session, you will:  Describe the markers of text written by generative AI.   Analyze a text to determine if it is written by generative AI.    Discuss approaches for student mediation of generative AI use.    This session is part of the AI-Ready Assignment Design Series offered by the University Libraries and the Center for Faculty Excellence (CFE). Participants who attend three sessions in this series may receive a AI-Ready Assignment Design email signature stamp.  To register for this event, use the Spring 2025 AI-Ready Assignment Design Series CFE Session Registration Form.  Advance registration is required. Registration will close one business day before the scheduled event. You will receive an Outlook invite with the Zoom link (if applicable) one day before the event.  To find out more information about this event, visit the Session Catalog page of the Center for Faculty Excellence (CFE) website.  If you have any questions about this event, email the CFE at cfe@bgsu.edu     If you need special services, assistance or appropriate modifications to fully participate in the event, please contact the CFE office or Accessibility Services at access@bgsu.edu or 419-372-8495.
