The applications of Generative AI (GenAI) are developing all the time. Having a critical understanding of GenAI is an important digital skill to develop so that you understand the opportunities and challenges that this technology brings.
As a student at the University of Chester, it is important you have a good understanding of our policy regarding using GenAI in your assessments:
- Before starting a piece of work, you should always check the assessment brief to identify if you are permitted to use artificial intelligence within your assessment and how you are permitted to use it. If you do use an artificial intelligence tool, you must clearly show which parts of your work have been created by using it and you must describe how you have used the tool. A declaration tool to support you to do this is available on the assessment information tile within each Moodle module.
- If you misuse an artificial intelligence tool or fail to declare the use of artificial intelligence in your work and you are later found to have breached the Academic Conduct Policy because of this, the penalties can be serious.
Complete the AI Moodle Module
All students have access to the Generative Artificial (GenAI) Intelligence Literacies module on Moodle which aims to improve your understanding of these tools and provides guidance to help you make decisions about responsible use of the tools, if your assessment brief indicates that you are permitted to use them.
Please take the time to complete this training module before you start any assessment in which you are permitted to use GenAI.
Further guidance on GenAI
If you are unsure about whether GenAI is permitted for use in your assessments, the Academic Conduct and GenAI Declaration tile on the GenAI Literacies Moodle module offers further guidance and step by step instructions about how to check whether you can use GenAI and how to declare its use.
