In fact, Salomon (1993) andSchrage (1990) explicate that interactive or cooperative communities provide a richerenvironment in which to share and develop ideas and engage in learning, than do more didacticinstructional environments.

Rather thanswitching to timed in-person or similar “stricter” settings to prevent AI misuse, CS educators mustinnovate the assessments such that generative AI tools can be used collaboratively. Open-endedprojects offer a path forward. Research has shown that projects as the main summative assesssmentin engineering and computing courses can have a greater positive impact on student learning andcareer preparation than conventional exams [20].

Northeastern University is recognized as one of the pioneers ofcooperative education where industrial experience is integrated into the curriculum. But goodpreparation for the coop experience is necessary if both student and company are to benefit. Overthe years, coop jobs have migrated from intrinsically simple tasks to relatively importantfunctions where students actually join a project team and make significant contributions.Preparing them for these kinds of jobs requires more than the teaching of technical skills.Students must learn about group dynamics, teamwork and the acquisition and integration of newknowledge. Rather than depending exclusively upon on-the-job
