Helping Students Navigate AI: Strategies for Academic Advisors Online

This presentation will provide advisors with strategies to help students differentiate between appropriate and inappropriate AI applications in their studies and applications to graduate and professional schools. Topics include understanding when AI can aid learning (e.g., research, writing support, data analysis) versus when it may compromise academic integrity (e.g., cheating, plagiarism). Attendees will leave equipped to support students in using AI ethically and understanding of AI as a complement—not a replacement—for independent learning and critical thinking.

Upon completion of this learning experience, participants will be able to:

Describe effective strategies for instructing students on the appropriate and inappropriate uses of AI tools in their coursework.
Explain the importance of reviewing course syllabi regarding instructor’s expectations and course policies around the use of GenAI by students.
Explore various AI tools and their potential benefits and limitations in the context of academic success that are available to students, such as writing assistants, study aids, and research platforms.
