What's In Your Statement?
Friendly reminder that there's an Syllabi AI Policy Repository
This is a short one, but I want to put it back on people’s radars as we approach the start of the semester. Back in January 2023, when ChatGPT was just released, I had created the Syllabi Policies for Generative AI - Repository. This collection started off with just a handful of policies that faculty shared with me and slowly grew into a couple dozen. Today, it stands at about 180+ policies. You can learn more about its formation in this post.
I’m sharing it because this substack has grown significantly since that last post, so folks might not be aware of it. More importantly, I share because there are a lot of great examples to draw from in that collection across a variety of disciplines. It’s worth scrolling through for insights and ideas.
Additioanlly, I continue to encourage folks to submit their policy for the benefit of others. If you have an AI policy that you have created for a class that you have or are teaching, consider submitting it here, and I’ll add it to the collection.
More recently, I reached out to contributors to see if they wanted to update their policy and a good portion did. So also know that as your policies change (as they are likely to do as people find different pathways through the role of GenAI in their teaching and learning), you can return to the form and submit an updated policy.
As I said, short and sweet!
