I recently came across the AI in Education page generated by students from The University of Sydney. This comprehensive AI resource is publicly available and generated entirely by a group of students.
This is a unique collection of resources as it provides useful and relevant guidance for thoughtfully incorporating AI into class assignments stressing authenticity and discernment.
What I Liked
I wholly encourage students to help each other. This is a prime example of social learning. As a student, we often seek out help and guidance from fellow students first, before asking the instructor. The fact that this site is maintained by students gives it a sense of transparency and realism. While the site is ultimately governed by a group of faculty advisors, I would hope that the students are given wide reign when constructing these guidelines.
Not So FAST…
As mentioned above, the site is governed by a group of faculty advisors. Here in lies some of the danger. Does the faculty or the institution discourage free exploration of AI? How strict is the governance that is being applied? In theory, a good policy should hit that sweet spot which would be a perfect balance between freedom of exploration and responsibility.
