What Does Student Engagement Look Like in the Age of AI?

When a student turns in a polished essay, can you tell if it represents a weekend of critical thinking or 30 seconds of AI generation?

As we move deeper into the age of AI, the institutions that thrive will be those that stop policing the product and start valuing the process. In this webinar, we’ll take a deeper look at how institutions and instructors can better understand student engagement in an age when final outputs no longer tell the whole story. This session will reveal the behavioral signals that distinguish human effort from AI generation.

Through research, product examples, and case studies, we’ll explore how visibility into the learning process can help educators identify effort, critical thinking, and motivation earlier and respond before disengagement turns into poor outcomes.
