Students want to learn and produce work that is truly their own. Without structure, clarity, or confidence, however, AI can become a shortcut rather than a learning partner. If we want students to use AI responsibly, we must design for it. Join this research-backed session to explore how self-regulated learning skills—planning, monitoring, and reflection—reduce reliance on AI shortcuts and support authentic learning. Participants will walk through a practical framework for designing assignments that position AI as a learning partner, not a replacement.

What You’ll Learn

• Why students lean on AI shortcuts and how structure and reflection change that behavior
• How to apply Zimmerman’s self-regulated learning cycle to support authentic work
• Ways to help students document their thinking and show their process
• How to use originality insights as feedback rather than discipline
• How to design assignments where AI strengthens learning instead of replacing it
• ⭐ Bonus for Live Attendees: Self-Regulated Learning + Originality Toolkit
