The teacher’s response to her assignment was that she ran my daughter’s response through some AI tool and it got flagged somehow. The way the assignment went was she logged on to her account and opened the assignment on a program called Canvas. The question is posed, and she types in the answer directly there. So there’s no way to look up a history of her work (ie. previous versions of a doc.) so we’re not sure what other way to prove she didn’t use AI.
As a parent, I want to reach out to the teacher to provide the evidence, and see if there’s some other opportunity (like an extra assignment) for her to do her work and show AI wasn’t used. But she doesn’t want us to reach out to her so there’s no retaliatory actions in the future. I’m also thinking of reaching out to the teacher to let her know my daughter is concerned this is going to happen again, and to inquire how this can be avoided for the final. “Don’t use AI” is the response I’ll most likely get so that’s probably a non-starter. I was also thinking that maybe on her final, have her write up her response on a Google or Word doc. first, then copy/paste her response into the Canvas platform. Not sure if this would somehow serve as “proof”. Thoughts?
