Guidelines for Teaching with Generative Artificial Intelligence

From Centre for Teaching and Learning – Concordia University

“Generative Artificial Intelligence (hereafter referred to as GenAI) in broad terms refers to a branch of computer science that utilizes machine learning and other advanced algorithms to generate new content de novo. This content includes text, images, code, audio, and video, and is created from prompts or other user inputs. A point of interest is that the output produced by GenAI systems such as ChatGPT is often indistinguishable from that of a human. This development has created a need for establishing guidelines in the university setting that are concrete enough to provide immediate direction on best practices, including syllabus development, but can remain malleable as we continue to research this topic and gain a better understanding of its role in university pedagogy.”

Resource includes:

• Bridging the Gap Between Pedagogy and Ethics
• Syllabus Statements
• Detection
• Exemplary Use Checklist
• Misuse Checklist
• Best Practices
