  • 2 Truths & 1 Lie
  • Educational Duct Tape Question: What tool or strategy would you use to . . . ensure academic honesty in the age of ubiquitous AI? 

• • “Students have cheated and will continue to cheat in different ways as new technologies evolve and emerge. So we don't want to do everything we do just to prevent cheating because then we're going to be stymying our own opportunity to innovate and try new things. We don't want the fact that students will cheat to limit us from educational innovation.”
