Course Readiness for AI
We encourage you to use UBC’s Faculty of Education Course AI readiness checklist to decide how generative AI can be used in your course, address copyright concerns, educate students on AI tools, and communicate with them. Per the VCC AI guidelines, instructors have a responsibility to support student success by including AI permission levels in the course syllabus, link to academic integrity expectations, and discuss these with students. You can use sample language from the guidelines or co-create AI permissions with your students.
Use this AI Assessment Scale to reflect on learning outcomes for your course/assignment and what is the appropriate level. Lucas Wright – Adapted from Furze et al., "The AI Assessment Scale" (March 2024) :
|
AI Assessment Scale |
|
 |
NO AI AI must not be used The assessment is completed entirely without AI assistance. This level ensures that students rely solely on their knowledge, understanding, and skills. |
 |
AI AS A STUDY TOOL Use AI to prepare, review, and study use AI to learn skills and knowledge related to the course content and to prepare for course assessments. |
 |
AI FOR IDEA GENERATION No AI content in submission AI can be used to enhance brainstorming structure creation, and idea generation to improve work. |
 |
AI-ASSISTED EDITING Include original work/drafts AI can enhance student work for clarity and quality of final output, but cannot create new content. |
 |
AI OUTPUT EVALUATED Use AI as instructed; cite AI content AI completes task parts; students must discuss and critically evaluate AI output. |
 |
FULL AI AI use is integral to assessment Use AI as a 'co-pilot' to enhance creativity and meet assessment requirements. |
