Grounding Classroom AI Policy in Ethics: A Student-Centered Approach

The disruptive presence of AI in higher education has given rise to disconnects between students and instructors on perceptions of appropriate AI use. To address this issue, I develop a student-centered workshop where students collaboratively draw a flowchart that clarifies shared understandings of ethical priorities regarding AI and then applies these to determine appropriate AI use (if any) for a particular learning goal. This workshop assignment connects student and instructor perceptions of AI use (or non-use) to support specific learning goals, in light of shared ethical priorities.
