This third installment in the Catalyst AI Foundations for Faculty is a supplement to the previous webinar on AI + Assessment. As we improve our course design to become more AI-informed, we’re still faced with a major challenge: how do we handle academic integrity? Teaching has always required some level of enforcement and rigor, we’ve always had to hold students accountable for their work, but the rapid spread of ChatGPT and agentic browsers feels like it’s eroding our pre-2022 approach to academic integrity. This is particularly true of online and hybrid courses, but everyone feels it.
In Webinar 3, the Idaho AI Catalyst series will cover all things academic integrity and related ethical questions, such as whether faculty should even require students to use AI (or ban it?), how to select policies that work best for your situation, and whether process-tracking tools such as Grammarly Authorship or Google Docs History should be part of your grading toolkit. We’ll also provide tips for communicating your course expectations clearly and how to hold students accountable without compromising yourown integrity as an educator. The webinar will build on the work of former Idaho AI Fellows, Liza Long and Jason Blomquist, updated for Fall 2025 developments, such as the rise of agentic browsers.
Joel Gladd (College of Western Idaho) will provide an overview of recent AI developments and how they impact academic integrity, as well as the different ethical models and strategies that relate to these discussions. Catalyst members Taylor Waring (North Idaho College), Heidi Tighe (College of Southern Idaho), and Abraham Romney (Idaho State University) will present examples and insights from their own experience as educators.
