One emerging use case is the development of interactive simulations—dynamic, responsive scenarios that allow students to practice discernment, apply concepts, and experiment with different approaches in a low‑stakes environment. In this interactive [...]

Rather than viewing GenAI solely as a threat to academic honesty, this proposal frames it as a pedagogical tool that must be intentionally integrated through evidence-informed course design. Teaching integrity in the GenAI era is supported not by surveillance or detection technologies, but by transparent expectations, authentic assessments, and student [...]
