Summary:
When AI is embedded in student academic work, long‑standing ideas about learning, originality, and assessment are being challenged.
In this webinar, part of Clarivate’s AI Thought Leadership Webinars, faculty and librarians discuss how assignments and assessment are evolving in response to AI. Based on Clarivate’s research with educators and informed by student perspectives, the session explores the shift from evaluating final products to evaluating thinking, reasoning, and evidence of engagement—and how libraries are helping guide responsible use.
Our panel of educators will discuss how they are adapting to AI, along with principles and practices for navigating its impact on learning.
