(March 9 - 20) AI in Education: Exploring Responsible Use Together (#AskTurnitin x ACUE)

Sun Mar 8
Event by Turnitin Official

Join #AskTurnitin for AI in Education: Exploring Responsible Use Together in collaboration with the Association of College and University Educators (ACUE).

This 2-week asynchronous Q&A on the Turnitin Educator Network (TEN) begins on March 9, 2026, kicking off with a 1-hour live Q&A where pedagogical experts address pressing questions about AI in teaching and learning.

Our educators will continue answering questions asynchronously for two weeks, giving educators around the world the opportunity to engage on their own schedule.

Whether you’re worried about AI disrupting student authorship, unsure how to interpret AI-detection results, or seeking ways to balance innovation with integrity, this Q&A provides practical guidance that educators can apply in their classrooms and share with their institutions.

Meet our pedagogical experts:

Patti West-Smith  – Senior Director of Customer Engagement at Turnitin

Stephanie Speicher, PhD.  – Academic Director at ACUE, Digital Fluency Faculty in Residence at Weber State University

How it works:

#AskTurnitin will be open for 2 weeks, giving you plenty of time to post your questions and join the discussion. Our educators will be checking in regularly to respond and share their insights.

Ask about:

  • Practical strategies for responsible AI use in teaching
  • Identifying when AI tools enhance learning versus when they create risks
  • Sharing success stories or challenges from other educators using AI tools
  • What support or resources would help in your context

    I signed up for this, but did not receive a link. Just wanted to let you know, but if anyone happens to see this and can tell me who to email to be able to get in, I'd still like to attend the remainder of the event. Thanks!
