1. Familiarize yourself with the different types of AICGTs and their specific uses and consider which tools might be most appropriate for your needs. See page 11 for a list of some of the most popular AICGTs.
2. Understand how AICGTs use machine learning algorithms and natural language processing to analyze data patterns and incrementally generate content, word-by-word, and pixel-by-pixel.
3. Reflect on how AICGTs will influence your professional identity as an educator and scholar.
4. Consider how AICGTs will affect your discipline (automating tasks, generating content, providing interactive tutoring) and how you will help students navigate this evolving field?
5. Clarify your course objectives and reflect on how AI-generated content can help you achieve or improve students learning outcomes.
6. Before you require your students to use AI tools, you need to.��
   1. Discuss the use of AI-generated content with your students. Highlight the pros and cons of various AICGTs.
   2. Review the privacy and data collection practices of the AICGTs, including log-in credentials, tracking, analytics, etc.
   3. Verify that the tools are free and accessible.
   4. Remember that AICGTs must comply with the regulations of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA): students' personal information should not be disclosed to systems that are not supported by the university.
7. Update your course syllabus honor code based on your decision to use or not use AICGTs. See sample syllabus statements below.
8. Clarify your expectations regarding academic honesty. Be clear about what your students may or may not use.
9. Provide clear instructions on how students should use AICGTs: why (purpose), what (assignments), how (grading criteria).
10. Provide alternative assignments for students who chose not to use AI tools.
11. Design your grading rubric around the expectations of your assignments.
12. Provide clear guidance on how to cite AI-generated content. See citation example below.
13. Review the ethical implications of AICGTs for academic honesty.
14. Run one of your assignments through one of the AICGTs, such as ChatGPT during class, and discuss the results with your students. Remember that the assignment prompt will give a different output each time it is submitted.
15. Familiarize yourself with various AI-generated text detection tools (high rate of false positives). See below for a list of AI detection tools.
16. Note that unlike search engines that presents existing information, AICGTs can generate false or fabricated information (the hallucination problem) by mixing words from multiple sources and presenting them as plausible and convincing sources.
17. AICGTs are prone to unexpected changes called "drift" when LLMs deviate from the original parameters. For example, ChatGPT4's performance in responding to certain prompts decreased over time compared to ChatGPT3.5.
18. Consider the ethical implications of using AICGTs, such as intellectual property, data privacy, misinformation, biased information, offensive content, and the potential for misuse, and how to address these issues in your teaching.
19. Have a meaningful conversation with your students, about the value and role of AI in their learning journey. Emphasize the importance of the intellectual struggle and process that leads to answers, rather than the final answer itself.
20. Be aware of the potential for AICGTs to increase or exacerbate existing educational inequalities among your students. The use or non-use of AICGTs is likely to create an unfair comparative advantage for students who learn to use them over those who do not.

2. Encourage students to create reusable prompts and scenarios for your course assignments and activities.
3. Provide sample prompts related to the course assignments. Here is a link on how to create effective prompts:
4. Understanding the wording and structure of prompts is one of the most important skills for effective use of AICGTs ().
5. Ask students to evaluate the accuracy, ethical issues, and relevance of AI-generated content.
6. Have students flag inaccurate, biased, or misleading information generated by AICGTs. Providing opportunities for students to critically interrogate the output of AICGTs is critical to fostering their digital literacy with AI.
7. Ask students to revise/improve the output of AICGTs using Track Changes (Microsoft Word) or Suggesting in Google Docs.
8. Use AI tools as a starting point for generating ideas and facilitating discussion.
9. Use AI tools to identify student misconceptions.
10. Use AI tools for formative assessment.
11. When evaluating student writing, consider the following questions:
    1. What is the role of writing in your course?
    2. What do you grade? What criteria do you use?
    3. What kind of feedback do you need to give your students?
    4. How can you use ChatGPT and other AICGTs to help your students become better writers (metacognitive skills)?

To discourage student reliance on AI-generated content while still providing opportunities for creativity, consider the following when designing your course assignments:

1. Reference specific class lectures, discussions, and materials. This helps students connect course concepts to their own perspectives.
2. Require engagement with current events and news. This makes it difficult to rely on outdated or inaccurate AI-generated information. Although newer AICGTs are able to search/use information from the Internet.
3. Specify current source requirements. Again, this discourages the use of inaccurate or outdated AI content.
4. Use a multi-step submission process (outline, draft, final). This encourages original work through revision.
5. Design assignments that allow sufficient time for completion (scaffolded assignments); an overload may drive students to use AICGTS such as ChatGPT when pressed for time.
6. Assign multimedia responses beyond just text (infographics, maps, timelines). This makes it harder to replace AI-generated text.
7. Have students reflect on their assignment process. Metacognitive activities reveal authentic student work.
8. Replace some written assignments with audio/video submissions. This shifts away from AI text-generators.
9. Consider including in-class writing and conferences to gain valuable insight into student work. Be aware, however, that such assignments may inadvertently disadvantage non-native English speakers or students who need accommodations for disabilities.
10. Introduce oral assignments, face-to-face exams, and in-class activities. These are likely to increase student participation and involvement.

In addition, analysis, and application assignments force students to demonstrate deeper understanding. Descriptive responses are easier for AI to generate.

Instead of using AI-generated content, discuss academic integrity and learning implications with students. Help them think through how AI tools should or should not be incorporated into the course. Alternatively, invite students to think about how they might incorporate AI-generated content into their course activities, while considering the impact on their creativity and learning journey.

Depending on your course learning outcomes and expectations, consider adopting or modifying one of the following examples:
Note: Please note that ODU does not require an AI statement in your syllabus, but it is highly recommended.

��

1. Option A - Use of AI tools to generate content is prohibited:
   In this course, you may not use AI tools such as ChatGPT and DALL●E 2, to generate content (including text, images, digital art, sound, video, and programming code) is strictly prohibited. You must complete all course assignments on your own or with your classmates. Using AI tools to create content for your assignments is a form of academic dishonesty and a violation of the University Honor Code.
2. Option B – Partially allow AI-generated content with attribution:
   IIn this course, you may use AI tools such as ChatGPT and DALL●E 2 to brainstorm ideas and create outlines. However, you may not include AI-generated content in your final submission without attribution. Using AI-generated content without giving proper attribution is a form of academic dishonesty and a violation of the University Honor Code.
3. Option C - Allow AI-generated content with attribution:In this course, you may use AI tools such as ChatGPT and DALL●E 2 to generate content for your assignments, provided that the content is accurate, unbiased, and appropriate for the assignment. To ensure academic integrity, you must (1) specify which AI tool you used, (2) use quotation marks or a different font color to distinguish AI-generated content, and (3) include citations to the AI tool sources in your references. Failure to properly cite AI-generated content is a form of academic dishonesty and a violation of the University Honor Code.

Provide clear guidelines for citing AI-generated content:

1. General writing, images, artwork, programming code, etc.:
   1. Acknowledge the use of AICGTs:
      1. What tools did you use?
      2. What prompt did you use to generate the content?
      3. What content did you use: design, outline, image, code, content used?
      4. How did you use the results of the AICGTs in your work?
      5. Indicate the date you used the tool.
      6. Keep drafts of your work to show how AI was used to complete the assignment.

Example: (OpenAI's ChatGPT AI language model, "prompt", "draft", March 1, 2023).

1. Accuracy and bias: AI-generated content may not always be accurate or unbiased. Some tools, such as ChatGPT, may even create information or references that do not exist.

2. Current knowledge: AICGTs have a limited understanding of world events that have occurred after 2021. However, newer versions of the AICGT are able to search the Internet, read links and provide updated information.

3. Conversational responses: ChatGPT, for example, remembers past prompts and can adapt responses. This in-context learning is often used to circumvent ChatGPT's internal safeguards.

4. Availability: Unless you have a paid monthly subscription, some AIGCTs like ChatGPT may not always be available.

5. Equity: Paid subscriptions provide access to more powerful models with advanced features. For example, ChatGPT 4 provides access to plugins and code interpreters that are not available in the free 3.5 version.

6. User Data: AIGCTs collect user data, so it is important not to share any personal information.

1. Understand the importance of privacy, as AI tools often require access to data to function effectively and discuss how to address privacy concerns in your use of AICGTs.
2. Consider the potential for misuse of AI-generated content, such as creating misleading information or deepfakes, and how to prevent misuse in your classroom.
3. Emphasize transparency in the use of AI tools, especially in academic settings, to ensure that AI-generated content is properly attributed, providing specific examples where possible.
4. Discuss the potential impact of AI-generated content on society, such as the potential for job displacement or the spread of misinformation, and how to address these issues in your classroom.
5. ��Foster a classroom culture that values the ethical use of technology and discuss how this culture can enhance student learning and prepare them for their future careers.

1. Understand that while AICGTs are powerful, they can sometimes generate incorrect or misleading information because they base their outputs on patterns learned from training data rather than on an understanding of the content, providing specific examples where possible.
2. Recognize that AICGTs require human oversight to ensure accuracy and appropriateness of content and discuss how human oversight can improve the effectiveness of these tools.
3. Recognize that AI tools may struggle with tasks that require deep understanding, creativity, or emotional intelligence, and discuss how these limitations may impact student learning.
4. Discuss the potential impact of these limitations on student learning and future careers, providing specific examples where possible.
5. Encourage critical thinking and skepticism in the use of AICGTs and discuss how this approach can enhance student learning.

1. Learn about the subtle clues that can indicate AI-generated content, such as unusual phrasing or lack of context, and provide specific examples where possible.
2. Become familiar with available tools that can help detect AI-generated text and discuss how these tools can enhance your ability to maintain academic integrity.
3. Promote transparency and provide clear guidelines to ensure that students properly cite any AI-generated content they use and discuss how this transparency can prevent misuse of AICGTs.
4. Discuss the potential consequences of misusing AICGTs, such as academic penalties or ethical issues, providing specific examples where possible.
5. Foster a classroom culture that values innovation and responsible use of technology and discuss how this culture can enhance student learning and prepare them for their future careers.
6. Become familiar with various AI-Generated text detection tools:

Caution: Uploading student work to external AI detection tools may result in FERPA, privacy, and copyright violations.

Reminder: Remember that AI detectors provide probabilities, not definitive proof of student misconduct. Their results may be inconsistent, and students may manipulate content (e.g., use multiple AI paraphrasing tools such as Quilbot) to avoid detection. If you suspect academic dishonesty based on these tools, please review, and investigate before taking disciplinary action. The accuracy and reliability of these systems are limited, and your judgment in determining authorship remains critical.

Note: As of July 25, 2023, OpenAI has shut down its AI Classifier, a tool that claimed to flag AI-generated text, due to "low accuracy".
