method, such as using Google searches.

Moreover, there are methods students have been know to use to avoid detection, such as saving plagiarized text as an image file, which Turnitin cannot read.

Maybe try something like this?

If the same or nearly the same paper is submitted to Turnitin more than once, Turnitin will return a very high similarity score. Identical passages submitted by the same student and within the same course (e.g., earlier and later drafts of a paper) will not be flagged. However, if more than one student in a course submits identical writing, or if a student submits writing identical to his or her writing submitted in a different course, that will be flagged by Turnitin.

Not necessarily - this is an option. So perhaps say instead:

We may instead just link to some other source. That way updates, additions, etc., will be centralized. If so, I suspect we may want to add that to the previous page and remove this page.

It's important to be aware, however, that different chatbots have different ways of incorporating references, and not all of them are prone to made-up quotes or citations.

Generative AI

Add: Note, however, that users can asks the AI bot to produce text with errors as a way to avoid detection.

Generative AI

Generative AI

This seems a bit specific. I would maybe say something instead like, "Instructors should consider carefully the aims of the course and whether or to what extent the use of Generative AI would support and advance those aims, or whether instead it would undermine them. For example, using Generative AI to help with writing assignments, understanding course readings, producing codes and equations, and other tasks may be regarded as a legitimate form of assistance (like a calculator or writing tutor) in some contexts, but it other contexts, where great value is placed on the students' own efforts towards certain tasks, it could undermine their development."

Technically GPT is the LLM; ChatGPT is the chatbot that uses it. So you might say something like "GPT is an LLM developed by OpenAI, and serves as the foundation of 'AI chatbots' like ChatGPT, as well as many others like Bing, Perplexity, and Claude,ai. There are other LLMs as well, such as one developed by Google which serves as the foundation of chatbots like Bard and Socratic. ChatGPT, Bard, etc., are referred to as 'AI chatbots" because..

Again, ChatGPT isn't a LLM.

Generative AI

Change title to "Generative AI (ChatGPT, etc.)"

This intro seems a bit narrow. It seems we will still want to talk about other areas of academic integrity, such as (traditional) plagiarism, cheating on exams, etc.

This is overstated, and needs to refer to more than just papers. Maybe something like "generate writing that is difficult to distinguish from human writing"

generative artificial intelligence

I would add something about the Comment Library, which allows instructors to save and reuse comments, thereby making it much easier to provide substantive feedback in a timely way.

Perhaps not for a whole course, but for particular assignments it is often used as a replacement.

I might add that this typically involves a very high level of instructor involvement.

I would add this as another point rather than just an aside. It helps avoid burnout, fatigue, etc., which can be detrimental to both student and instructor.

high

This may be overstated. There can be other sources of bias, such as the way language gets used. Profs may also unconsciously try to guess who the student is. So "reduces" would seem much better than "eliminates"

Do we want to recommend they begin with a statement of the purpose of the assignment?

This would be ripe for ChatGPT, unfortunately. Maybe add something like, "(to discourage the use of Generative AI, you could have them identify a particular question or explain how it relates to a particular point in the course lecture)."

perhaps temper the language a bit, since it's probably not "essential" to include group projects in all courses. Maybe "useful" or "important"?

Instead of this, maybe we should list out 4-6 examples? Since they are often overlooked, it could be useful to provide lots of ways to easily bring this in.

Could we instead have them create an effective discussion prompt?

Continuity with previous day - engagement?

or another video?

Again, I'm not sure if this is something we should present as a general recommendation. It can make sense to have the same groups all semester for some purposes, especially if the point is to be able to establish deeper relationships.

I think Meet can as well.

It may be worth having two things here - one for assignments and one for discussions. It gets a bit confusing and convoluted trying to talk about both at once.

This only applies to assignments. And I would say "may" rather than "will". It could be the opposite, if the tasks involved in completing an assignment can be divided up among multiple people rather than having to be completed by a single individual.

?? I'm not sure this is a concern about groups per se; if it's a concern, it would apply to any discussion, not just group discussions. And they wouldn't "submit multiple posts as a group." As I mentioned above, group discussions are not like assignments where a single submission is made on behalf of the group.

I might instead just say here, "like all discussions, it is important to provide clear guidance on both what is expected from their original posts as well as from their replies to peers (a component instructions often overlook), as well as when students are expected to post, how often, whether posts should be original posts or replies, and so on."

I'm not sure this is necessary, and I would avoid suggesting that anything is "typical", given how different individual courses can be. Besides, we often want to encourage them to think outside the box and go beyond what is "typical". I know that many instructors utilize group discussions that go far beyond a single, some extending the entire semester. This can be a very effective kind of activity.

Add: "There are many methods to provide substantive feedback without that taking up too much time. For instance, using rubrics with Speedgrader [https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-a-rubric-to-grade-submissions-in-SpeedGrader/ta-p/1015], using Canvas's Comment Library [https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-Comment-Library-in-SpeedGrader/ta-p/469482], keeping a document with frequently used comments, or using text-expansion software [https://stkate.service-now.com/sp?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0012480]."

add a space above

You could add or refer to the point I made before about delayed posting.

add: (24 hours on weekdays or 48 hours on weekends is generally recommended).

There seems to be a bit too much packed in here - personal connection over zoom, discussion boards, and surveys. The first overlaps with the next point. Canvas discussions should perhaps be a separate point: "If you use discussion forums or similar social activities, try to participate at least a few times in each one, and try to respond to each student at least once during the term. You may want to keep a spreadsheet with your student roster where you can check off when you have responded to each student."

Surveys might also be a separate point: "Offer a short anonymous survey once or twice during the term to check in with the class as a whole and respond to any concerns. This might be done after the first couple of weeks and/or around the middle of the term. Doing so reassures them that you care about their progress and experiences, and it may give more reticent students a chance to have their voices heard."

Maybe add as another bullet point or addition to this one: "Be proactive in inviting them to connect with you over video, such as suggesting a meeting when replying to emails, in paper comments, discussion feedback, etc. "

personal? office hours don't necessarily have to be one-on-one

Add a point here about things that can be done ahead of time: "Compose announcements before the term starts and set them to 'delay posting' until a particular point in the term. This can be a great way to send reminders, previews of upcoming topics, etc., while saving time during the busyness of the term."

I'm not sure this is necessary. Perhaps something like "at least 4 times a week" is better. If we suggest that instructors must do something 7 days/week, it will bet setting an impossibly high bar for most of them and thus won't be practical or helpful.

I don't think tabs is a great way to present material that they are required to go through, since it doesn't facilitate moving sequentially through the material. I suspect many users won't click on the other 2 tabs; they will get to the end of this first tab and move onto the next section, not realizing there are those other 2 sections. It's prob. better to put them all on the same page or to use accordions.

This seems to miss a step. How about something like this: "...note that some materials may not be accessible without certain modifications or supplements. Below is a list of the most common materials that will need to be made accessible prior to making them available to students and guides on how to do that: - PDFs need to be made "OCR compatible", i.e., capable of being read by screen reading software (for visually impaired persons, among others). --See Creating Accessible PDFs. - Videos require transcripts and/or closed captioning (for hearing impaired persons, among others). --[link] - [[others]] - images, VT, Word, etc.

We need to first define what accessibility is before discussing its importance. "Accessibility" means...
