YOUR host is
How does Empire State University, a 98% online institution with 20,000 students ranging from age 19 to 89, use Universal Design for Learning to minimize barriers & reduce the temptation to cheat by offering multimodal content delivery, flexible assessment options, & 24/7 support including tutoring & even a virtual food pantry?
Why does Melissa refuse to use AI tracker tools due to false positives, & how does Empire's required AI statement in every syllabus (allowing instructors to permit, prohibit, or require citation of AI) create transparency & support proactive conversations rather than punitive measures?
How does Empire's approach of 200 plus hours of monthly professional development for faculty & focusing on removing unintentional barriers lead to authentic student engagement, & why does Melissa believe that when students feel supported & can demonstrate learning in ways meaningful to them, they're less likely to violate academic integrity?
