(Webinar) Responsible AI in Practice: Practical Tips for Supporting Authentic Learning

Responsible AI in Practice: Practical Tips for Supporting Authentic Learning
By midterm, you've seen how students are actually using AI: what's working, and what may need clarifying or rethinking.
Join the Turnitin Educator Network (TEN) for a candid #AskTurnitin conversation with three higher education faculty. We'll talk about what responsible AI use looks like in practice and how they keep student thinking at the center of learning.
In this webinar, you'll learn how to:
- Define responsible AI use in ways students can understand and apply.
- Keep student thinking, not just AI use, at the center of the conversation.
- Make the writing process more visible, including with Turnitin Clarity.
- Choose one practical step to try with your students before the term ends.
Bring your questions for the live Q&A, and leave with practical Turnitin resources.
