Faculty should refrain from use of any AI detection software that is not supported by 91ÖÆƬ³§ unless it has passed through compliance review and been approved. We encourage our faculty to explore alternative methods for evaluating student work that encourage human input and engagement. The Center for Teaching and Learning Enhancement (CTLE) is available to assist you in this process. The CTLE offers valuable resources, workshops, and expertise to help you restructure assignments, evaluations, and rubrics in ways that promote meaningful human interaction and assessment.

Additionally, a faculty guide, Promoting Authenticity of Study Work in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, created by CTLE is available to you. This guide has 100 examples of various assignment styles that can assist you in promoting meaningful student input.

Here are some recommendations for faculty to consider:

1. Use LU-supported Proctoring Services: Honorlock provides a secure and flexible platform that allows for remote proctoring while minimizing disruptions to the learning process. By using Honorlock, faculty can help ensure that assessments are conducted fairly and with transparency, deterring academic dishonesty and upholding the university's commitment to maintaining high academic standards. This tool offers a range of features, including identity verification, live proctoring, and AI-driven behavior analysis, that can help protect the integrity of online exams and assessments, ultimately benefiting both faculty and students in maintaining the credibility of our educational programs. Additionally, Honorlock has worked to provide proctoring features specifically for protection against inappropriate AI use, including secondary device detection to detect use of devices like mobile phones and tablets, browser guard to prevent test takers from navigating away from their test browser, AI extension blocking to prevent use of unauthorized extensions, copy/paste prevention, and online leaked questions detection. CTLE and Digital Learning can work with faculty who need training on use of Honorlock.
2. Leverage Peer Review: Incorporate peer review processes into your assignments to encourage students to evaluate and provide feedback to each other.
3. Engage in Interactive Assessments: Design assessments that require students to engage in discussions, presentations, or group projects, fostering collaborative learning experiences.
4. Utilize Rich Rubrics: Develop detailed rubrics that provide clear criteria for assessment and allow for constructive feedback.
5. Emphasize Formative Assessment: Focus on ongoing, formative assessments that provide students with opportunities for improvement throughout the learning process that build to summative assessment.
6. Collaborate with CTLE: Reach out to the Center for Teaching and Learning Enhancement for guidance and support in rethinking your assessment strategies or other support for the recommendations above.

If you have any questions or require assistance in implementing these changes, please do not hesitate to contact the CTLE. We are here to support you in creating the best possible learning experiences for our students. 

Thank you for your dedication to our students' success, and for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
