As emerging technologies like AI make their way into classrooms, many educators worry that they could hinder learning outcomes.

And while there could be benefits to AI when implemented with intention, the reality is that not every use of AI tools will support teaching and learning.

In this webinar, we’ll discuss why starting academic integrity training early enables schools to instill skills and values that students will carry into further education and the workplace.

You will learn:

How to promote integrity and support original writing
Teach key skills such as evaluating a source’s credibility, and citing and paraphrasing correctly
Teaching students to use AI responsibly
Making the most of AI tools while preserving original writing
Update your school’s academic integrity guidelines for the age of AI
Bringing transparency to the writing process with Turnitin Clarity

Join us and make your classroom future-ready!
