The Role of Writing Attestation in Learning Assessment

Fears about AI use disrupt what many once saw as an implied trust between students and evaluators of their written work for assignments and learning assessments. With today's widespread AI use, many evaluators believe they can't assume students have produced everything they submit as their own.

This town hall session, which includes UMBC's Matthew Trevett-Smith, assembles experts in teaching/learning, assessment, writing, and technology to discuss: What assumptions about how writing is produced do these concerns surface? How can instructors think about assigning and/or assessing writing in light of these concerns? How might this look in practice? What are the implications for undergraduate education at research universities?
