      Non-EKU: From Assignment to Artifact - An AI Portfolio Project for Deeper Learning

      Thursday, September 10, 2026 at 2:00 PM until 3:20 PMEastern Daylight Time UTC -04:00

      Presenter: Dr. Bill Thornburgh

      This session will share the design and outcomes of an AI portfolio project implemented in one of my courses at EKU, in which students used AI tools as part of an ongoing, documented learning process rather than a one-off assignment. The portfolio project was built around three goals: 1) supporting deeper learning by asking students to engage critically with AI-generated content rather than passively accepting it; 2) strengthening AI literacy by making students active, informed users who understand the capabilities and limitations of these tools; and 3) cultivating reflective practice by requiring students to document and evaluate the process of creating their own work, using AI, and revising their work/thinking.

      I will provide the project structure, example assignments, and assessment approach, then share representative examples of student work alongside student feedback on the experience. Attendees will leave with a transferable framework for incorporating an AI portfolio into their own courses, along with practical considerations around implementation and evaluation.

      Registration is no longer available because the registration deadline has passed.
