With generative AI tools transforming how students approach assignments, it’s important for faculty to set clear expectations in their course syllabi. This session will help provide guidance to start crafting a Gen AI course policy that clearly communicates how these tools may be used— or restricted— in your courses.
This hands-on session will explore the ethical dimensions of AI in education, including redefining academic integrity and creating policies that promote an ethical AI culture. Through engaging discussions, case studies, and individual work, you will develop a coherent set of AI policies tailored to your courses and gain practical strategies for guiding your students in responsible AI use.
This workshop was originally developed as part of a Fund for Excellence and Innovation (FFEI) grant from the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV).
