You’ve read enough student work to recognize when something’s off. The tone is too polished. The phrasing feels stilted. The work seemed to magically appear—no drafts, no revisions. You get that sinking feeling:
Was this written by AI?
The
AI Plagiarism Playbook is built for this moment. This course tackles the realities of artificial intelligence and plagiarism head-on. You’ll examine how the definition of plagiarism is shifting, why the lines are blurrier than ever, and what it means for writing instruction moving forward.
You’ll explore EdTech tools like Draftback and Brisk that make writing a visible process—showing you how students revise, when they write, and how their ideas develop over time. And when plagiarism does happen, you’ll be equipped with fair, thoughtful strategies to respond.
But this course isn’t just about catching cheating (though we talk about that). It’s about transforming how we design writing tasks in an age of AI. You’ll learn to build assignments with checkpoints, personal reflections, and localized prompts that can’t be outsourced to AI. Explore how to reframe writing through formats like debates, projects, and thesis defenses.
Finally, you’ll discover how to bring AI back into your classroom—as a creative, intentional tool to help students think deeper and write better. Whether you’re assigning essays, lab reports, or short responses, this course will help you protect academic integrity while evolving your approach to writing instruction.
