Assignment Level GenAI Expectations

Once you determine the GenAI policy for your course, we suggest adding a statement in each Canvas assignment reminding students of the GenAI policy for each assignment. The eLDIG team has created GenAI Canvas Assignment icons that you can incorporate into your assignments to communicate your expectations visually and clearly as appropriate for your course needs. The resources below include samples of the icons and supporting information which you can copy into your Canvas course.

When appropriate, consider creating assignments that incorporate generative AI in a specific manner, such as generating ideas for a research topic or revising initial drafts. It is important to keep up with advancements in generative AI to refine instructional practices accordingly. Consider the ethical implications of AI, such as bias in AI-generated content and the impact on creativity and originality while highlighting the real-world applications and limitations of generative AI to prepare students for its use in their professional lives.
