Agentic AI browsers can now complete quizzes, write discussion posts, and submit assignments in Canvas — and students can access them for free. This session offers both a clear-eyed look at agentic AI and a practical toolkit for responding. We’ll start with definitions and a demo. Then we’ll dig into two kinds of strategies for countering misuse: designing assignments that support genuine engagement — like social annotation and process-based grading— and creating logistical barriers that make it harder to hand coursework off to AI, such as multimodal work and lockdown browsers. Finally, we’ll explore ways educators can put agentic AI to cautious use, with a demo of using an agent to create an accessible slide deck from OER content.
