In the age of generative AI, academic integrity is an area of major concern for teaching faculty. Assignments that were carefully crafted to assess the student’s knowledge of the subject can now be answered in minutes by using a chatbot. Faculty often feel isolated and overwhelmed as they try to navigate rapidly changing technology while still maintaining the validity of their assessments.
This presentation details a successful cross-functional project at Pasco-Hernando State College where the Libraries and Instructional Design teams co-facilitated a faculty book club focused on The Opposite of Cheating: Teaching for Integrity in the Age of AI by Tricia Bertram Gallant and David A. Rettinger, which presents a research-backed vision for academic integrity and offers practical tips for instructors. We will explore the logistics of this model, including recruitment strategies, discussion facilitation techniques and materials, and assessment. Attendees will learn techniques for implementing a cross-functional professional development event for their college, university, or library community.
