Description

As AI reshapes higher education, many instructors are rethinking what meaningful student engagement and assessment should look like. In this webinar, Greenfield Community College’s Dr. Martha Field shares classroom-tested approaches for teaching international environmental agreements through AI-integrated and AI-resilient assignments. Participants will explore mock UN treaty negotiations, roundtable consensus-building exercises, and comparative AI analysis activities that encourage students to evaluate policy tradeoffs, defend recommendations, and engage more deeply with environmental economics concepts.

Whether you’re teaching environmental economics or just curious about these class-tested approaches, this is a session you won’t want to miss.
