The vast majority of students rely on laptops – and increasingly AI – to help with their university work. But a small number are going analogue and eschewing tech almost entirely in a bid to re-engage their brains

my best idea would be going old school with in person written & oral testing, since clearly nothing digital is of any help anymore. or perhaps require multiple digital WIP versions to be submitted? would also be getting the students into a good habit of making backups of their work. or maybe every essay should come with a director's commentary (a more loose style reflective essay on the research and work done)

    These are all good options! In person testing is certainly on my list, and I like the ideas with WIP versions (especially for larger submissions) and commentary.

    I also think of more presentation format submissions where I could ask quick questions to see if the person actually understands what is written. Sort of a small defense.

    On technical means, I welcome different forms of AI poisoning in tasks: these don't always work, but they can catch the least attentive.
