Case Closed: Simple Ways to Keep Students Accountable in the Age of AI

In the age of AI, many educators feel like they are trying to solve a case without enough evidence. You may suspect AI use, but proving it after the fact is difficult and draining. This session shifts the focus from reactive detection to proactive design. You will explore simple, low-prep strategies that build accountability directly into the learning process and make student thinking visible as it happens. Learn how to create consistent evidence of student work throughout an assignment rather than relying on a single final product, so questions about authorship are answered before they arise. Because these strategies layer easily into lessons you already teach, you can put them to work immediately in any classroom. By the end, the case is already closed.
