Teaching Talk: Aligned GenAI Policy

The Aligned GenAI Course Policy

Virtual Zoom Session (Recording Option) 

Sarah McCorkle (WVU Teaching and Learning Center) shares her framework for designing a Generative AI course policy. During this talk, Sarah will share her own scholarship as an instructor (as opposed to her usual role as Administrative Director of the Center).

A transparent framework for developing a course-level GenAI policy, the Aligned Generative AI Course Policy (McCorkle, 2025) begins with an analysis of student tasks by inventorying each step a student would take that leads to a finished product of their learning. Each task in the inventory is reviewed by the instructor as they ask themselves: “what, specifically, am I assessing?”
