The release of ChatGPT in late 2022 marked a turning point in education, reshaping how students engage with class assignments. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into academic work, faculty responses range from outright bans to full incorporation. Studies indicate that adult learners generally view AI positively, using it as a tutoring system, writing assistant, or research tool (Kumar & Raman, 2022; Zheng et al., 2023). However, concerns persist regarding plagiarism, cheating, and the potential erosion of critical thinking and problem-solving skills (Driessen & Gallant, 2022; McGehee, 2023; Luckin et al., 2016). Additionally, many students lack the skills to use AI effectively, presenting an opportunity for higher education to guide them in maximizing AI’s potential for their careers. How can faculty leverage AI while maintaining academic integrity? This workshop demystifies AI tools and explores their applications across disciplines in higher education. Through hands-on activities, participants will evaluate AI-driven resources, discuss ethical considerations, and develop strategies for integrating AI into assignments without compromising rigor. In breakout groups, attendees will collaboratively reimagine assignments that harness AI’s potential while reinforcing critical skills. Participants will leave with practical tools to design innovative assignments that teach students how to use AI effectively and ethically.
