Presentation Description
Generative AI is often viewed as a threat to academic integrity, even as a replacement for learning; however, it can be a powerful tool for enhancing learning. This presentation explores how generative AI can support executive function—such as cognitive offloading, attention, and metacognition—while maintaining and even strengthening academic integrity. We emphasize how AI can facilitate independent learning, ensuring that both the process and outcomes reflect the student’s genuine efforts and ethical engagement with the material.
