Below are the presentations that I have given on AI, Academic Integrity, and integrating AI in the curriculum. The first presentation covers what needs to be added to academic integrity policy statements. The second presentation (a continuing conversation with the first presentation) describes some practical ways to integrate AI in the writing curriculum. Both the first and second presentation were given to the faculty of Dominican University of River Forest, Il (Oct. 5, 2023). The third presentation focuses on what this "new" technology means for our Academic Integrity policies (presented in March 2023 as a webinar for Atla [formerly the American Theological Library Association]).  I rewrote that presentation and published it in Christian Academic Magazine (Sept. 18, 2023).

Here are the four needed statements in every University's Academic Integrity Policy:

1. A Cheating statement that addresses these ideas:

   • A broad and general definition, or description of, cheating; what constitutes cheating in the academy.

   • An expansive statement that cheating is not just what is listed above but includes anything that a group of reasonable people would consider cheating.

   • A list of possible, but not complete, punishments for any violation of the Academic Integrity Policy (failure on the assignment, failure of the course, suspension, expulsion, etc.).

   • The idea that multiple occurrences of cheating by the student will result in more severe punishments.

   • Every instance of cheating will be reported and recorded as part of the student's academic record.

2. A Plagiarism statement that addresses these ideas:

   • A definition of plagiarism. It does not need to focus on the theft of intellectual property, but it can.

   • It should connect plagiarism to the definition of cheating and that the punishments are listed above.

   • It should include the idea that plagiarism is not a matter of intent, but of incident. Plagiarism occurs whether the student intended to cheat or if it was an accident. If it occurs, it should be punished. One of the greatest means of defeating plagiarism is to cite sources while the student writes, not after writing the paper, but while writing the paper.

3.  A Collaboration statement that addresses these ideas:

   • Grades should be based on the quantity and quality of the work done by each student / author.

   • Each part of a collaboration (down to the sentence?) should be identifiable as to whose ideas are whose and who wrote what.

   • The amount of work allowed by the AI will be up to the instructor and the nature of the work.

4.  An AI statement that addresses these ideas:

   • AI should be allowed and encouraged in courses where the instructor choses to use it. This is based upon the academic freedom of classroom instructors.

   • AI is only allowed when stated explicitly in the instructions by the faculty member. When in doubt, the answer is no.

   • Possibly allowed as a computer aid for accessibility purposes.

   • This is a temporary statement, as a few years from now, AI will be viewed more as a tool (I hope). This must be revisited, often, for the next decade or so.
