AI-cademic Integrity

Artificial Intelligence is a new and exciting tool that can be a great learning tool and organizational resource if used responsibly.

It lands itself here, however, as a possible pitfall for students looking for a faster way to turn in work that may not be written as their own original product.

The three videos below are great overviews of the responsible use of AI for students.

All videos below are the creation and product of Study Forge Digital Curriculum.

Part 1: Carly's Choices

Watch what happens when Carly has a looming deadline. She has three choices to meet that deadline:

Part 3: How can AI be used responsibly?

As we've seen, AI is a new resource that has great potential to help students with learning, organizing, and more, but there's a blurry line when it comes to using it responsibly.

Watch this video to learn how Rachel can be resourceful and avoid going rogue when it comes to using AI to help with writing tasks.

The best option is always to be prepared and not wait until the last minute!

If in doubt, refer to this list as shared in the videos you saw above.

In short, submitting anything that is not your own work is a violation of academic integrity and will lead to consequences ranging from zero credit for the assignment to even failing an entire class.
