Role
Motivation
⚡ Students increasingly use AI tools like ChatGPT in their coursework
🧩 Educators struggle to assess student learning when AI is involved
📊 No standardized way to track and understand student AI interactions in project work
🔍 Need for transparency in how AI tools are being used to support learning
“ How Might We assist students to communicate their AI usage with different stakeholders, to demonstrate their novel dimensions of capabilities? ”
Our Approach
🏫 We conducted workshops with 18 college students, encouraging them to speculate an alternative world 🌍 where they could freely employ AI in PBL while needing to report this process to assess their skills and contributions.
Understand how students envision using AI in their project work
Explore ways to track and report AI usage meaningfully
Identify key metrics and visualization needs for different stakeholders
