Deadline: Apply to Join the CORE+AI Design Program

Apply here | Facilitator: Breana Bayraktar

The CORE+AI Design Program provides up to $450 in stipends to instructors redesigning assignments. Rather than focusing on AI tool adoption, the program positions faculty as scholarly designers: identify a meaningful instructional challenge, redesign assignments, and document your work in a Design Portfolio. Space is limited and participants will be accepted on a rolling basis before the October 15 application deadline, so apply early!

Participants earn stipends as they complete each tier of the program and gain access to a community of colleagues working through the same questions across disciplines. Along the way, the program generates research on how instructors reason through course design in the AI era and produces a shared repository of adaptable, evidence-informed instructional resources for faculty development across institutions.

Pre-ITL Workshop: Rethinking Academic Integrity in the Age of AI Through Alternative Assessment

Register here | Facilitator: Breana Bayraktar

AI detection tools are inaccurate, biased, and not an effective solution to concerns about academic integrity. The real solution isn’t better surveillance, it’s removing the conditions that make cheating feel worth it in the first place. This workshop will help you explore how alternative grading schemes can support authentic work and academic integrity.

This event is part of our pre-ITL conference workshop series; however, attendance at ITL is not required.
