Fostering Ethical and Scalable AI Use in Education
The AI Aware Writing Environment (AAWE), founded by Dr. Megan Kane and Stephen Malkowicz, is designed to help students responsibly use AI tools under instructor-set guidelines. AAWE provides instructors with flexible assignment controls and insights into student engagement and AI use, both authorized and unauthorized.
In partnership with the Digital Innovation Foundry (DIF), AAWE is working to enhance its capabilities. Moa Al Balushi, a management information systems student guided by Manoj Chacko, is currently helping advance the project.
Key goals include building a scalable AWS cloud infrastructure for 1,500+ users and improving AI detection and feedback algorithms to ensure high-quality results and academic integrity.
