AI Considerations for Teaching and Learning

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology (E.g ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, etc.) is readily available and is already integrated into many tools used daily. The rapid and ongoing development of AI technologies is challenging us to consider the ethical,  personal, pedagogical and career implications for us and our students and how to best serve their learning. 

The decision on whether to allow the use of AI in a UofL course is at the discretion of each individual instructor. The new Student Code of Conduct clearly states that “Instructors or Supervisory Committees shall clearly set out expectations and may choose to permit, limit, or ban the use of tools such as AI in research, assignments, and assessments in a program or Course”. This could be at the course level, or it may differ for each assignment. We encourage you to put a statement in your course syllabus and talk to your students about if or how AI can be used in your course(s).

The Teaching Centre and Library continue to collaborate to provide updated resources to support teaching and learning in an AI world. This includes supporting understanding of AI, decision making on the use of AI, and supporting pedagogical practices responsive to academic staff's choices in relation to AI use. Given these technologies' rapid adoption and constant changes, these resources will be updated regularly.
