The Skills Centre has developed a self‑access module on MySkills to support students in using Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools effectively and responsibly in their academic work. We would encourage you to highlight these resources to your students as a way of building confidence and developing essential skills.

What the resources include

The module includes GenAI:

  • Prompts: techniques for producing and refining effective prompts
  • Information Literacy: strengths, limitations and ethical considerations
  • Critical Thinking and Evaluation: analysing and evaluating AIgenerated content
  • Ethics: considering implications for truth, privacy and sustainability
  • Bias: developing awareness of bias in systems and users
  • Data Privacy and Security: understanding responsible data use and protection

Reflection activities are included throughout, and student progress is tracked on the ‘My Results’ page, with the option to download outcomes for review or discussion.

How to access the resources

These resources are available now on MySkills to support students’ studies and help them develop valuable digital and critical thinking skills for the future.
