Description:

Facilitator: Matt Shake

As students increasingly rely on AI, it's critical that they learn to recognize its strengths and limitations. This challenge became a learning opportunity for Matt Shake, Professor of Psychological Sciences. Join Matt as he shares how he designed an assignment challenging students to test AI's effectiveness at each level of Bloom's taxonomy. Students submitted the AI-generated output for tasks at each Bloom’s level—from remembering to creating—along with their reflections on how useful AI actually was in the process.

 In this session, Matt shares surprising student insights and provides assignment examples you can adapt for your own courses, with the goal of helping students become critical consumers of AI rather than passive users. This session is perfect for faculty at any level of AI familiarity who want to explore with students whether AI makes their learning "worth the climb.”
