"AI Health Check" for Core Education Assignments

A peace-of-mind service for mid- to large-size Core Education courses in the Humanities and Social Sciences

 

Many faculty of mid to large size CoreEd classes in the Humanities and Social Sciences wonder how vulnerable their assignments are to misuse of Artificial Intelligence. Others are wondering whether recent updates they made to their assignments are indeed helping students make choices around Al that support rather than undermine their learning.

Keli Yerian, Distinguished Teaching Professor in Linguistics, and a team of carefully selected undergraduates are offering answers to these questions during Spring 2025. Core Ed faculty or administrators are invited to submit CoreEd assignments to this team for an "Al Health Check".

Collaboration

What the Health Check Offers

Faculty or administrators who submit an assignment will receive a short report

  1. rating the assignment along several criteria for its vulnerability to Al misuse
  2. giving examples of Al-generated submissions of the assignment
  3. providing several ideas for how to reduce vulnerability, if needed, and how to optionally adapt the assignment to encourage ethical, reflective use of Al
  4. offering consultation with the Al Health Check team or with the Teaching Engagement Program for further optional discussion

To provide this service, the team will need

  1. The assignment
  2. The purpose of the assignment (the expected outcomes for students)
  3. Access to any materials that may be required for the assignment
  4. The syllabus for the course

The Al Health Check team will not share these materials or results with anyone other than the faculty or department submitting them, and can limit the Al tool to CoPilot at UO, which does not allow submitted materials to be used for future Al training.
