Event Overview
AI tools can speed up research, clarify concepts, and help you structure strong writing—but they can also create academic integrity risks when used carelessly. In this live Edu AI webinar, you’ll learn how to use AI for assignments in a way that is ethical, transparent, and aligned with common university policies. We’ll break down what plagiarism looks like in the age of generative AI, where students get tripped up most often, and how to build a repeatable workflow that keeps your work original and defensible.
What you will learn
- How academic integrity policies typically define plagiarism, collusion, and unauthorized assistance—and how AI fits into these categories.
- When AI output becomes plagiarism (and when it doesn’t): examples of acceptable vs. unacceptable use.
- How to turn AI into a learning assistant: using it for brainstorming, outlining, question generation, and feedback without copying.
- Practical citation and disclosure methods: referencing sources you used, documenting prompts, and writing an AI-use statement when required.
- Safe paraphrasing and summarizing techniques: preserving meaning while maintaining your own voice and structure.
- Verification habits: how to fact-check claims, trace citations, and avoid fabricated references.
- Originality and authorship proof: keeping drafts, version history, notes, and prompt logs to demonstrate your process.
Who should attend
- Students using ChatGPT or other AI tools for essays, lab reports, reflections, coding assignments, or presentations.
- Educators, tutors, and academic support staff who want clear guidelines to coach learners.
- Anyone new to AI who wants a simple, policy-aware approach to using it responsibly.
What to prepare
- Bring one current assignment brief or rubric (remove personal details) so you can map the guidance to your requirements.
- Have access to your preferred AI tool and a note-taking document for building a personal “AI integrity checklist.”
- If you can, pull up your institution’s academic integrity policy so you can compare language and expectations.
The session includes live demonstrations, ready-to-use templates (prompt log, AI-use statement, and citation checklist), and a Q&A segment to address real scenarios. You’ll leave with clear boundaries, practical habits, and confidence that your work reflects your own thinking—supported by AI, not replaced by it.
