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.

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. When members of a classroom possess and practice all three ofHymes constructs, cooperative learning communities can exist and thrive.The task of becoming an asynchronous studentProblems.
