Generative AI in Your Class: Faculty Guide
The wide-spread availability and accessibility of generative artificial intelligence is re-shaping the post-secondary experience for students and instructors. The Centre for Teaching and Learning has developed a faculty guide to answer some of the questions you may have and to outline best practices for your classroom
Principles for ethical use of AI
Generative artificial intelligence needs to be used responsibly and ethically in higher education—by both students and faculty.
Addressing AI in your course outlines
If you are updating course outlines to include messaging about artificial intelligence, you may want to consider using one of the follwoing statements, which were developed in consultation with the Artificial Intelligence/Academic Integrity Working Group (2023) and adapted from The University of Auckland’s TeachWell site.
In this class, students are allowed to use generative artificial intelligence tools, including for text, music or art, such as ChatGPT and DALL.E 2. However, you must acknowledge any use of such tools in the following ways:
- Include a statement in any assessment that uses an AI generation tool explaining what you used the tool for and what prompts you used to get the results.
- Indicate exactly what content is generated by, paraphrased from or based on an AI generation tool using quotation marks, italics or another format indicated by your instructor.
- Referencing: Check updates on the style guide you use (for example, APA) for guidance on how to cite AI and/or consult with the Library.
Please be aware of the limitations of ChatGPT, including the following:
- Tools like ChatGPT are known to have issues with providing incorrect and false information. The information from these tools should not be used without confirming it with another source. It is your responsibility to check the information provided for errors or omissions.
