Tuesday, April 22nd 1:00 pm EST |  Register for the Event

AI is changing how students approach assessments—so how do we design learning experiences that foster deep understanding while reducing AI misuse? This webinar dives into how Project-Based Learning (PBL) and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) create AI-resilient, authentic assessments that go beyond essays and exams. We’ll explore:

  • How PBL + UDL naturally promote critical thinking, creativity, and diverse expression—making AI-generated work less effective.
  •  The role of authentic assessments in reducing cheating while enhancing learning and inclusion.
  •  How AI can support instructors in the shift to these models, reducing workload and streamlining instructional strategies.
  •  Practical strategies you can implement right now to design AI-resistant assessments in online courses.

Server (Director of Instructional Design and Development at Northern Virginia Community College), Erin Richardson (Instructional Designer at Meridian Community College), Kelly Maxwell (ICCOC Instructional Designer/Lead Faculty Trainer), Ray Sheppard (Director of Distance Learning at Bladen Community College), and Marcus Poptz (CEO/Founder of Harmonize)
