Academic Integrity and AI

Great Resources from Turnitin

How do we grapple with Academic Integrity in the age of AI? That is a question that I am so many other librarians and educators are grappling with. I have been looking for resources on this issue, and while at ISTE I found about all these fantastic free resources that Turnitin has created to help deal with this issue.

From their website:

The recent surge of text generative AI has everyone in the education world talking. Think pieces, blogs, and social media are full of questions with no clear answers, yet educators are already facing these issues in classrooms. No longer a potential issue in the future, AI-generated text is present and likely closer than many educators would prefer.

Still, consider the adaptations that educators have made successfully in the past. The shift to using a search engine to locate information online rather than the card catalog to locate print text shifted the way research skills are taught in the not too distant past. AI-generated text is the next big shift in the education world. Some clear challenges have emerged with its relative ease of use, yet the potential for good instructional practices is clearly there.

Let’s seize these opportunities to truly make our teaching and learning match the world our students inhabit.

They have professional learning resources like A Guide to Approaching AI-Generated Text in Your Classroom to a Glossary of AI Vocabulary.

They also have educator resources like Updating your Academic Integrity Policy in the Age of AI to AI Misuse Rubric which prepares educators writing assignments so that they don’t run into AI misuse.

And they also include some great resources for students like an Ethical Use Checklist and Orginal Thinking Throughout the Writing Process Handout and Poster.

I highly recommend bookmarking this site because they are constantly adding more resources.
