  • “We examine how artificial intelligence transforms the core pillars of collaboration—performance, expertise sharing, and social engagement—through a pre-registered field experiment with 776 professionals at Procter & Gamble, a global consumer packaged goods company. Working on real product innovation challenges, professionals were randomly assigned to work either with or without AI, and either individually or with another professional in new product development teams. Our findings reveal that AI significantly enhances performance: individuals with AI matched the performance of teams without AI, demonstrating that AI can effectively replicate certain benefits of human collaboration.”

AI-Free spaces

Yep. Sometimes these are necessary too. This doesn’t always mean blue books or in-person everything.

Assessment

• Sept 2024. Dr. Sarah Elaine Eaton. Ethical Reasons to Avoid Using AI Apps for Student Assessment. I am hearing about educators turning to large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT to help them provide formative or summative assessment of students’ work. There are some good reasons not to avoid using ChatGPT or other LLMs to assess student learning.
• June 2, 2026. Designing Assignments for the AI Era. Wilson Rojas. “When you design an assignment for the AI era, you’re not just asking “Should I allow AI?” You’re asking something more sophisticated: “Which parts of this assignment should be done with AI support, which parts without, and what’s my pedagogical reasoning for drawing those boundaries?””
• July 4, 2026. Teaching with AI Boundaries: A Framework for Meaningful Learning. Developed by Helen MacDermott based on a framework by Jeff Schatten.“Discover how to design assignments that protect authentic student thinking while leveraging AI where it genuinely enhances learning.”

Friction

• 2025. Reflective Friction in Generative AI: Designing for Slow Thinking in Fast Systems. Peter Dalsgaard. “This paper introduces the concept of reflective fric-
  tion—deliberate, lightweight interventions that prompt users to
  pause, compare, or reconsider during interaction. Drawing on in-
  sights from design research and cognitive theory, the paper outlines
  eight strategies for embedding reflective friction into generative
  systems, including contrastive output, prompt clarification, uncer-
  tainty surfacing, and rationale elicitation.”

Rubrics
