AI for educators

Guidance and resources to support staff in using Generative AI (Gen AI) in student education.

Staff engaged in the development or use of AI in any type of learning activity should ensure that the AI-based learning activity is ethical and conforms to University of Leeds regulations. Please also refer to the Staff Intranet pages for staff guidance from the Secretariat and advice on Generative AI and assessment (this information can be accessed by University of Leeds staff only).

Leeds case studies

Innovative approaches to using Gen AI in teaching and assessment from colleagues at Leeds.

AI detection tools

AI detection tools must not be used under any circumstances.

This is because:

  1. submission of the work to such tools may represent a data security breach
  2. the document being checked becomes available as training data for other AI tools
  3. these tools are significantly inaccurate.

Student misuse of AI

If you suspect a student or postgraduate researcher has submitted work that is generated by AI without making the appropriate declaration, gather the evidence.

Write the reasons why you suspect the student or postgraduate researcher has done this, then submit it with the evidence to the Academic Integrity Lead or Officer for your school or faculty.
