Join a new faculty community that will explore artificial intelligence and course design, collaboratively facilitated by JMU Libraries and the Center for Faculty Innovation (CFI).

This faculty community—a reading and reflection group—will meet via Zoom on four Tuesdays this spring, from 2:15 to 3:15 p.m.:  

• February 10, 17 and 24 

• March 3 

The group will discuss The Opposite of Cheating: Teaching for Integrity in the Age of AI. A copy of the book will be provided to all participating faculty.

Please sign up by January 26 to ensure you receive the book before we begin.

By participating, you will: 

• Engage in cross-campus dialogue on course, curriculum, and assessment design in the age of AI 

• Deepen your practical understanding of assessment design and the psychological aspects of grading 

• Explore ways to integrate AI ethically and responsibly to move beyond "traditional” assignments 

• Identify opportunities to future-proof your courses through authentic, meaningful, and process-oriented course design 

Why this matters:

The rise of generative AI presents “wicked problems” for assessment and evaluation in higher education (Corbin et al., 2025). This group will work toward a shared understanding of evaluation that emphasizes teaching for integrity in this new context. By rethinking courses, curricula, or assessments in this age of AI (Hodges & Kirshner, 2024; Wiley, 2025), you will be better positioned to foster student agency and design courses grounded in ethics and transparency.
