In this episode of Agile Ed, we tackle the growing tension educators face as student use of GenAI becomes more normalized—and less distinguishable. From the emotional toll of reading AI-generated reflections to the challenge of designing non-disposable assessments, we explore what’s lost when authenticity gives way to efficiency. We talk about instructor workload, student motivation, and the ethical grey zones of GenAI use in education. If you’re frustrated by bland submissions, unsure how to adapt your assessments, or simply craving real student thinking—this episode is for you.
