Oregon State University Ecampus has developed a new research-based tool that helps faculty who teach online navigate the challenges and opportunities of using artificial intelligence in their courses.<\/p>\n

The Six Essential Pedagogical Moves for Online Education in the AI Era<\/a> provides a clear framework for faculty and administrators to design holistic, program-level generative AI policies. The tool addresses the growing concerns of many faculty members who want to preserve academic integrity amid the ongoing spike in AI use.<\/p>\n

Just as importantly, implementation of the tool\u2019s strategies will result in Oregon State online students gaining a better, more consistent understanding of how and when to use AI on class assignments.<\/p>\n

The six-point framework is one aspect of Oregon State\u2019s comprehensive AI Action Plan for Online Education<\/strong>, rooted in research and created by a five-person OSU team as part of the AAC&U Institute on AI, Pedagogy, and the Curriculum<\/a>. The development of the larger plan and related framework comes at an ideal time.<\/p>\n

\u201cAI is a disruptive force in the world and specifically to online education. There is no simple solution, but it is clear that we need a strategy to make online programs and courses AI resilient,\u201d said Shannon Riggs, the associate vice provost of educational programs and learning innovation in OSU\u2019s Division of Educational Ventures. \u201cBy taking this proactive approach, we can give faculty and other key groups resources to ensure that meaningful learning takes place online.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Six Moves framework is available under a Creative Commons license to be freely adapted and reused by faculty and administrators at any institution. It is organized by pathways that correspond to three roles: program administrator, faculty course designer and course instructor. The distinct pathways highlight strategies that each group can apply within their area of responsibility.<\/p>\n
