Turnitin at Educause 2026: AI is the new frenemy of learning: Understanding how to make it a friend, not a foe

AI AI detection is no longer enough. Today's landscape demands transparency into the learning journey, AI skill-building, and the protection of critical thinking.


Join us for an interactive, Lunch and Learn where we will discuss the role of AI in the classroom, and how to make friends, not enemies with the tool. Together, we’ll explore how you and your institutions are expanding their understanding of learning in the age of AI and the importance of focusing  on assessing the full learning process and not just the final product.


In this session, you will:


  • Collaborate with peers:  Brainstorm and share strategies with fellow leaders on what is working for you and what’s not as we all navigate AI’s role in education.


  • Understand the data: Dive into real-world student usage insights revealing how the AI landscape is shifting from detection to transparency. We found that students are hungry for feedback from AI.


  • See your needs reflected in tools:  Get an exclusive look at how tools like Turnitin Clarity and new feature improvements like “multipart assignments” and formative feedback are being built into Turnitin workflows, all due to educator feedback.


Join the conversation and leave better prepared to answer, “What does responsible use of AI look like?” at your institution.
