Building Critical Thinking in the Age of AI: Peer Feedback and Authorship Tracking in Practice

Using new teaching technology effectively is rarely just about turning on a feature. The real value comes from how it fits into course design, assessment, feedback, and the day-to-day realities of teaching students.

‍

Join Rob Carey of Clemson University and Jessica El-Helou from Kritik on November 17, 2026 at 2:00 PM EDT for Building Critical Thinking in the Age of AI: Peer Feedback and Authorship Tracking in Practice, a practical conversation focused on how instructors can use peer assessment and authorship transparency to strengthen critical thinking, student engagement, and responsible AI use.

‍

Drawing from Rob’s experience using Kritik at Clemson University, the session will explore what implementation looks like in practice, including what has worked in the classroom, lessons learned, and ways instructors can use Kritik360 and VisibleAI to support student engagement, critical thinking, feedback, and greater transparency into the learning process.

Jessica will add practical perspectives on designing and implementing activities with Kritik, helping connect classroom examples to strategies instructors can adapt across different disciplines and course structures.

Rather than focusing only on individual product features, this session will look at how instructors can connect these tools to broader teaching goals, from designing stronger assignments and peer learning activities to setting clearer expectations around AI use.

In this webinar, we’ll explore:

• How to incorporate Kritik360 into course activities and assessment
• Ways to structure peer assessment and peer feedback so students learn from evaluating one another’s work
• How peer learning can strengthen critical thinking, reflection, and student engagement
• How VisibleAI can provide greater transparency into how student work develops
• Ways to establish clearer expectations around AI use in student assignments
• Practical lessons from implementing Kritik in a real university classroom
• Strategies instructors can adapt across different disciplines and course structures

From Technology to Teaching Practice

The value of an educational tool depends on how it is used.

This session will move beyond a feature walkthrough to explore the practical decisions behind implementation: where peer assessment fits, how students respond, how activities can be structured, and how authorship transparency can support conversations about AI without replacing instructor judgment.

Rob Carey will share lessons and examples from his own experience at Clemson University, while Jessica El-Helou will provide practical guidance on translating these approaches into effective activities and assessment strategies.

Who should attend

Faculty, instructors, instructional designers, teaching and learning teams, and academic leaders interested in peer assessment, peer feedback, critical thinking, AI transparency, generative AI in education, student engagement, and assessment design.

Whether you already use Kritik and VisibleAI or are exploring how these approaches could fit into your course, this session will provide practical ideas for moving from the technology itself to meaningful classroom implementation.
