1. Consider how AI technology might compel you to revise your course assignments, quizzes, and tests to avoid encouraging unethical or dishonest use of generative AI.
2. Develop and integrate a generative AI course-level rules throughout the all course materials/resources:
-
- Provide clear definitions, expectations, and repercussions of what will happen if students violate the rule.
- Explain the standards of academic integrity in the course, especially as related to use of AI technologies, and review the Integrity of Scholarship and Grades Policy.
-
- Be clear about what types of AI are acceptable and what versions of the technology students can use or not use.
- Put this rule into D2L and any assignment instructions consistently.
3. Discuss these expectations when talking about course rules at the beginning of the course and remind students about them as you discuss course assignments:
-
- Take time to explain to students the pros and cons of generative AI technologies relative to your course.
- Explain the development of your course-level rules and make clear the values, ethics, and philosophies underpinning its development.
-
- Explain the repercussions of not following the course rules and submit an Academic Dishonesty Report if needed.
4. If you want to integrate AI in the classroom as an allowed or required resource:
-
- Consult with MSU IT guidance about recommendations for use and adoption of generative AI technology, including guidelines for keeping you and your data safe.
- Determine if MSU already has access to the tools you desire for free, and if not available through MSU, consider the cost and availability of the resources you will allow or require, and go through MSU's procurement process.
- If you want to require students to use an AI technology that comes with a cost, put the resource into the scheduling system as you would a textbook, so students know that is an anticipated cost to them.
