AI Rationale Builder

To establish clear rules and expectations between teacher and students, it is essential to communicate explicitly about what generative AI tools are allowed, how they may be used, and why these choices are made within a course. This rationale builder guides you in developing a rationale for your course manual based on your own input.

How will the use of generative AI be integrated in this course? *

Select one option that best describes the level of AI usage in your course.

No AI

The assessment is completed entirely without AI assistance in a controlled environment, ensuring that students rely solely on their existing knowledge, understanding, and skills.

AI Planning

AI may be used for pre-task activities such as brainstorming, outlining and initial research. This level focuses on the effective use of AI for planning, synthesis, and ideation, but assessments should emphasise the ability to develop and refine these ideas independently.

AI Collaboration

AI may be used to help complete the task, including idea generation, drafting, feedback, and refinement. Students should critically evaluate and modify the AI suggested outputs, demonstrating their understanding.

Full AI

AI may be used to complete any element of the task, with students directing AI to achieve the assessment goals. Assessments at this level may also require engagement with AI to achieve goals and solve problems.

AI Exploration

AI is used creatively to enhance problem-solving, generate novel insights, or develop innovative solutions to solve problems. Students and educators co-design assessments to explore unique AI applications within the field of study.

Will you provide course material on AI Literacy? *

Yes

Will you provide a space, during the course, to talk and discuss the use of generative AI tools? *

Yes

What is your reasoning behind your AI integration approach? *

Explain your pedagogical rationale. This will help students understand the purpose behind your AI policy and how it relates to their learning objectives.

💡 Tip: Consider addressing: How does your AI policy support learning outcomes? What skills are you helping students develop? Why is this approach appropriate for your course content and assessment methods?
