The University has developed a suite of new resources to support your students in understanding and ethical use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in their academic work. As AI rapidly becomes an integral part of our daily lives and educational landscape, it's crucial to engage with these tools critically and responsibly.

Key Resources:

  • Academic Integrity in the Context of GenAI: Colleagues across the University have developed a comprehensive guide on maintaining academic integrity while using GenAI tools. This resource is essential for understanding the University's policies and guidelines regarding AI use in assessments. It forms part of the training for the - Academic Integrity Initiative Test and emphasizes our commitment to ethical standards, honesty, and respect for others' work.
  • Interactive Generative AI Module: The Skills Centre has produced a new interactive learning module to support students to develop their GenAI capabilities. Designed specifically for academic contexts, this module consists of six short, interactive learning resources. Each section includes reflection activities to reinforce their learning, with downloadable summaries and feedback available on the 'My Results' page for wider discussion with staff and peers.
  • Academic Integrity, Plagiarism and AI: The Library’s has developed its comprehensive guidance on referencing, to include specific content on referencing in the AI context.
  • Video Guide on Responsible AI Use: The Skills Centre has produced an insightful video guide outlining nine key points and questions for students to consider when using AI tools for their academic work. This resource will help them navigate the complexities of integrating AI into their academic work confidently and ethically.

By engaging with these resources, your students will not only develop valuable skills for their academic journey but also prepare themselves for a future where AI literacy will be increasingly important in professional settings.

We invite you to explore these new resources and signpost them to your students.
