Patterns & learnings
- Some emerging patterns/learnings from the Bay Area this snapshot in time (February 2025):
- Leadership: Faculty engaged in AI learning and policy development, including at multiple colleges’ Librarians curating resources/on Senate AI task forces with other discipline faculty including many Distance Education/Instructional Design/ZTC/OER faculty and staff, as well as faculty from ICT/DM, Business, Comms, Engineering. In some cases AI discussion is led by student clubs and student journalism!
- Learning: Faculty and staff are not reinventing the wheel. Adapting from 2-year & 4-year early adopters in gathering teaching & learning, as well as policy resources, particularly those shared at the California Online Teaching conference.
- Language: Developmental pattern appears to be: syllabus based/existing academic integrity policy to AI policy. SJCC (syllabus), Foothill (draft) & West Valley “AI use range”, & DVC provide potential examples. SMCCCD mini conference is a PD model, robustly developed by their PD team, primarily BIPOC faculty and staff in the Distance Ed/Instructional Design teams.
- Lessons: Several colleges might need intentional and curated support with resources, while others can likely provide exemplars and/or peer to peer support, particularly important to support/resource multi-college districts and their College and District Senates.
Curated resources
- Really neat human-centered, inclusive resources shared by the colleges are linked, and in some cases 2-year college generated content

Patterns & learnings
- Some emerging patterns/learnings from this snapshot in time (February 2025):
Curated resources
- NFN colleges provide some neat learning, including examples and innovations to potentially elevate:
- Leadership includes early adopters within Library Faculty and Instructional Design teams in collaboration with discipline faculty. Again as some campuses students are also leading the way. NFN emerges as first region with multiple accessibility faculty and staff engaged at multiple colleges (Butte, CoS, FRC, etc) leading/working on AI and accessibility
- Learning, particularly, library guides and PD workshops are most prevalent. Some very interesting use of CO AI series, CVC-OEI PD as well as Instructional Design units and 2 and 4-year models to avoid reinventing the wheel. With respect to AI courses, Ed2Go appears to be providing early access for students. However, some colleges have no or low PD resources available and could benefit from PD support.
- Language are beginning to be discussed/envisioned, with strong reliance on existing student codes of conduct and ongoing faculty and staff work on development of syllabi language. Appears to follow similar cadence to other regions, code of conduct, professor-by-professor approach within syllabi, and then more systematic consideration of a policy. Exemplars include: CoR, CoS, and FRC.
- Of particular notepad interest for the NFN region:
- ARC AI Basics for Refugees
- Butte TMI department (Technology Mediated Instruction)
- CoR Syllabus with Range of AI Approaches Phil 15, Soc 1
- CoS Empowering Rural Education: Generative AI and Student-Centered Learning at College of the Siskiyous

- Academic Senate Sample Syllabus policies: [“There is no official CR policy on AI use. It is up to the instructor how they would like to address AI use in their courses. Below are three sample policies for you to consider, adapt, or delete”.] Three Approaches
- NO AI: Recent advancements in generative artificial intelligence (AI) have made large language models such as ChatGPT and Google's Bard widely available. However, overuse of these tools in this class can undermine your learning and curtail the development of your critical and creative thinking skills. In addition, AI outputs are often unreliable and frequently subject to bias. For these reasons, the policy of this class is that AI cannot be used at any point in the completion of class assignments, including discussion posts. Any or all of your assignment submissions and discussion posts may be screened by AI detection software, but the real penalty for AI misuse is that you will miss out on an opportunity to learn.
- Per Assignment: Recent advancements in generative artificial intelligence (AI) have made large language models such as ChatGPT and Google's Bard widely available. Sometimes, using these tools appropriately can help us overcome barriers and allow us to focus on deeper learning. However, overuse of these tools can undermine the development of our critical and creative thinking skills. In addition, AI outputs are often unreliable and frequently subject to bias. For these reasons, it is sometimes appropriate and sometimes inappropriate to use generative AI in the completion of assignments or in discussion posts. For this class, please see the specific assignment instructions for guidance on how and when generative AI tools may be used appropriately as we're working on and learning from a particular assignment. Also, please keep in mind that you are responsible for anything you submit; please carefully review all AI-generated outputs, screening them for accuracy, bias, appropriateness, and fidelity to your perspective.
- Liberal AI: Generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT and Google's Bard, are likely to be widely used in the workplace moving forward. It's important for you to understand how to use them ethically and effectively. For that reason, in this class, you will sometimes be invited to use such a tool in the completion of an assignment. In this class, using generative AI tools is not cheating if the outputs are screened by you for accuracy, bias, appropriateness, and fidelity to your perspective.

- GPRC connects staff and faculty to regional AI workgroup
- March 2024 Senate request for AI support for faculty
- March 2024 Senate moved to adopt AI below Use with the following rationale:
- Students: Students will be increasingly using AI in various areas of their lives, so it is not reasonable to demand students forgo its use in their classes. It would be better to guide how it is used rather than banning its use. We have opportunities to model appropriate use in our courses.
- Vision 2030: AI is a priority in California’s Vision 2030.
- March 2024 Academic Senate adopted Use of AI for Academic Purpose for Students AND Faculty
- Three option approach: No, by assignment, or okay
- “The bottom line is that students and faculty may use AI tools at COS, but they are still fully responsible for adhering to all regulations and policies. The best advice for students when using AI tools is to err on the side of caution and adopt an “ask first” stance.”
- Acknowledgments: The Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center (DLIFLC) policy on Artificial Intelligence (AI) served as the primary model for this AI policy. In addition, the suggested language for the syllabus was borrowed from a personal communication with a fellow colleague at Point Loma Nazarene University (D. Sbarbaro, personal communication, August 8, 2023).

Team/Lead: Folsom Lake College
- We currently do not have a formal AI policy in place, but we are in the process of creating an AI task force, one of whose responsibilities will be to develop it.
- The policy will be comprehensive and inclusive of all disciplines, recognizing that AI is impacting every field.
- Relevant policies aligning with this new AI-related policy should include academic integrity, data privacy, technology use, ethical AI guidelines, curriculum and teaching policies, and equity and accessibility frameworks. These policies ensure responsible AI integration across disciplines, addressing ethical use, fairness, transparency, security, and inclusion in education.

- In the AI summit that happened in FLC on 11/15/2024. We had multiple workshops, faculty discussions, student discussions, and AI sandbox to practice using AI.
- The current project is to have FLC open an AI lab, which will provide a space for students and faculty to explore more about AI.
- AI Course Map
- In FLC We have two directions:
- First, AI curriculum development: In the AI departments, we have five AI courses and an AI and Machine learning certificate that were developed and approved. We are offering those courses regularly, and we plan to create more courses and programs.
- Second, the AI department is working with other departments and administration to build an AI task force to focus more on AI policies, professional development, resources, and other related topics.

Patterns & learnings
- Some emerging patterns/learnings from this snapshot in time (February 2025):
- Leadership: Similar to BA, NFN, differentiated college community approaches, senate, and faculty/staff engagement, again library faculty and staff, distance education, DSPS, instructional designers (where present), academic technology, and discipline faculty are engaged within many communities
- Learning: Multiple colleges have nourished process with development of PD/learning resources for students and faculty alike, intentional support is also requested and could support those colleges earlier in the process. Supporting peer to peer connection, particularly for early-in-process and/or stuck-in-process might be most welcome, especially peers and exemplars
- Language: Policies are underway in many communities, again developmental process appears to be use of academic integrity by each professor towards college senate development of guiding syllabus language to adopted policy.

- Last year a senate ad hoc committee was created and folks joined based on interest.
- The ad hoc committee developed the language concerning cheating and plagiarism which is currently in our college catalog; it is currently thinking of revising that language (removing it from the plagiarism section) and expanding the scope of the policy to cover acceptable uses for both faculty and students.
- The committee is also planning to run a faculty survey to gain insight on how AI is used and perceived around campus. Future projects may involve AI workshops, though several Clovis faculty run workshops at other campuses in our district

- Statement of Educational Technology Committee on AI policies in your classes
- The College of the Sequoias’ Board Policy 5500: Standards of Conduct, #13 states: “Cheating, plagiarism (including plagiarism in a student publication), or engaging in other academic dishonesty. Plagiarism means presenting other people’s words or ideas as one’s own. It may include, but is not limited to, submitting material taken from the web or elsewhere as original work; failing to provide complete citations and references for all work that draws on the ideas, words, or work of others; or failing to identify the contributors to work done in collaboration.”
- With the increasing use and access to generative AI tools, both in classes, work, and private lives, some faculty have asked for guidance on how to respond to this new technology, and if the college needs a new policy. It is the opinion of the Ed Tech Committee that our Board Policy already addresses this new technology in BP5500.

The local OE office, in collaboration with the District Distance Education Committee, will offer periodic workshops that deal with the issues of GenAI in the classroom and disseminate useful information and best practices in the lead up to each semester. Furthermore, the LACCD supports tools for AI detection and will continually update these tools in accordance with district policy. The OE Office strongly suggests that faculty members include language in their syllabi that outlines the policy for AI usage in their classes.”

- Feb 2025 Library Guide Citations - APA: Artificial Intelligence: AI
- Using ChatGPT or other generative AI in your assignments
- Confirm with your course coordinator or check your course syllabus before using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in your assessment. Some instructors do not permit the use of AI tools, while others may allow AI with some limitations.
- Any permitted use of AI for assessment must be acknowledged appropriately. Your course instructor will provide guidance on how to reference the use of AI tools. Some possible examples include:
- Citing or referencing in the text or list of references
- Inclusion in your methodology
- An appendix including a full transcript of any prompts and AI-generated responses.
- Sample AI Policies by Course/Discipline
- June 2024 Nursing Program
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy The purpose of this policy is to ensure the academic integrity and originality of writing assignments, while also allowing students to use AI tools to enhance the learning experience. Faculty will set expectations for the use of AI in their specific assignments including explicit direction as to when students cannot use AI. In general, students may utilize generative AI as a tool, resource, or consultant and not as a replacement for their own knowledge synthesis, reasoning, or self-reflection.
- Students are expected to adhere to the following:
- If generative AI is used for an assignment, it must be appropriately cited.
- Students are responsible for any inaccurate, biased, offensive, or otherwise unethical content they submit regardless of whether they personally authored it or used AI software to generate the content.
- Students may not create H&Ps or patient care documentation within the authentic clinical environment using artificial intelligence applications outside of those supported by the EHR (e.g., dot phrases, smart phrases, other system-generated text). Protected health information should never otherwise be used within a generative AI tool.
- Students may not copy and paste system or course session materials, presentation slides, or exam questions into AI systems consistent with copyright and intellectual property rights.
- When submitting scholarly work for publication or presentation, students must adhere to generative AI policies set forth by journals and organizations and disclose when and how these tools have been used.
- If a student is found to have inappropriately utilized generative AI, the student will be subject to the nursing program Academic Dishonesty Policy.
- 2021-2026 Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD)Innovation and Technology Plan
- “Increase technology modernization and innovation….
- 2.4. Embrace new technology options for enhanced learning such as Simulation Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality”
- Nov 2021 “Proposed LAHC policy on Student Academic Honesty: Los Angeles Harbor College is committed to preparing students to compete confidently and effectively in a rapidly changing, information-driven, technological global community. Students are expected to be honest and ethical. No acceptable rationale for dishonesty can be based on physical, emotional or learning challenges. The college expects that students do their own academic work. Acceptable academic conduct does not include cheating, plagiarism or any other unethical academic behavior.It is the student’s responsibility to know what conduct is academically honest.”

- Spring 2025 Syllabus Checklist
- Statement Regarding the Use of AI Programs
- Many assignments require writing, research, and/or sharing your ideas. The vast amount of information available online means that it can be hard to distinguish accurate from inaccurate sources. Websites are not always credible and sometimes reflect a biased viewpoint intended to sway the reader’s opinion. Similarly, AI tools (such as ChatGPT) may spread misinformation and falsehoods. When you do outside research, be sure to use reputable sources, such as peer-reviewed journal articles, government websites, or credible news articles. All outside sources must be properly cited in APA or MLA format.
- Importantly, always share what you learn in your own words, in a way that makes sense to you and in a way that is relevant to the assignment. The use of AI to write your posts is considered plagiarism because it is not your original writing. Plagiarism-detecting software (TurnItIn) and AI-detecting software (OpenAI Detector) may be used to analyze your submissions for originality. Any evidence of plagiarism will result in a zero on the assignment and possible further disciplinary action.
- Additional AI Policy Statement Examples (internal drive)
- November 2024, the Pierce College Academic Senate adopted a new code of conduct regarding AI usage in classrooms. This policy grants professors the discretion to permit or prohibit AI tools in their courses. Academic Senate Meeting Notes

- Survey
- Interest in AI at our campus arrived about the same time as the student bot infiltration that has plagued us since Fall 2024. There was a pronounced use of AI in online courses by students that faculty were wholly unprepared for. For the most part, the approach has been diffuse.
- The Ad Hoc Committee on AI were tasked for simply revising the Academic Integrity policy to include the use of AI by students. Once completed the committee disbanded.
- Distance Education has held some workshops regarding AI, mostly in the realm of addressing its use by students in coursework.
- LASC Distance Education Coordinator has been invited to participate in the CVC-OEI AI Train-the-Trainer Community of Practice for Spring 2025.
- LASC Professional Development Committee organized a series of workshops based around the book, Teaching with AI by Bowen and Watson, kicking it off with a personalized workshop led by author Watson. The series was poorly attended.
- The intent is to establish an AI CoP at LASC by Fall 2025 involving faculty, staff, students and admin to develop a foundation for creating a comprehensive approach to AI at LASC.
- LACCD, our campus also has access to district-level training and workships on AI; these are more robust and address faculty and how they can use AI in their workflows in areas like assessment revisions, rubric creation, humanizing course content, and AI prompt engineering.

- The purpose of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Education Workgroup is to review the impacts of AI in the postsecondary classroom and determine a set of best practices for faculty. The workgroup is also charged with providing recommendations and guidance to the Academic Senate to establish a set of priorities on how to both engage with AI and mitigate the negative aspects of it.”

- Recommendations
- Create Education Technology Committee
- BP2/AP 42903 should be evaluated for a potential update. This workgroup recommends adopting language that makes it clear that the unethical use of AI is plagiarism. For example, in AP 4290, it is noted that “Cheating includes but is not limited to […] Presenting another person’s work as your own […]” We recommend editing said language to strike the word “person” to implicitly include AI. Alternatively, a new bullet point could be adopted to specifically note that work generated by AI and deployed as one’s own is a form of academic dishonesty.

- “The following can serve as a helpful template for syllabi statements or longer explanations regarding the use of AI in your courses. It is always up to each instructor to determine how and where students can use AI in their courses. It is important to state whether AI usage is allowed at all, and if so, it is helpful to provide guidelines such as these.
- Sample syllabus statement:
- While the use of Artificially Intelligent chatbots (such as ChatGPT, hereafter just “AI”) will be permitted to some degree in this course, the two most important things to remember are:
- You MUST always cite when and where you have used AI in your work.
- The work you submit, overall, must be your own, unique work. Here is a simple breakdown of what you can and cannot use AI for in this course:
- You CAN use AI to o give suggestions on how to fix your grammar or make your writing sound better;
- help you organize your work and give you suggestions on how to answer a question;
- help you create an outline or summary of your work;
- help you do research;
- help you figure out where to expand on your ideas or where your argument is weak;
- You CANNOT
- submit assignments that are primarily written by AI;
- use AI generated content in any way in the following assignments: ;
- submit AI generated summaries or outlines as your own;
- fail to properly cite where and how you used AI.
- Extended information that can be placed on Canvas, the syllabus, or elsewhere: AI is improving every day and will transform how a lot of work, especially writing and education, is done.
- Turning in an assignment that is primarily, or completely written by an AI, is not doing your own work, and in violation of academic integrity standards.
- Because of their very recent rise in popularity, I will be allowing the use of AI in this course according to the following guidelines, which have been generated using the help of ChatGPT.
- I asked it to generate guidelines for its use in a college course that includes critical thinking and edited what it gave me to help you use it while maintaining academic integrity and critical thinking:
- The use of AI generated content will be allowed on all assignments EXCEPT for . You should primarily use AI to help organize your thoughts and writing. You are highly discouraged from using them in any way for your discussion posts, however, as the primary point of the discussions is for you to get practice writing and thinking on your own.
- Any use of AI writers MUST be cited. Include which one you used, when you used it, where you have used it in your assignment, and any other relevant information. Failure to acknowledge when and where you have used them will result in a 0 on the assignment. The ability to resubmit the assignment is at the instructor’s discretion.
- Failure to meet the citation requirements in the assignments will result in a 0. This is to ensure that you are doing work on the assignment yourself, as AI cannot do this part of the assignment properly. The ability to resubmit the assignment is at the instructor’s discretion.
- AI writers are tools for expanding your understanding but should not be used as a replacement for your own critical thinking and analysis and thus should not be relied upon to do the bulk of an assignment.
- Do not trust AI and do not expect it to give you anything with real substance. You are responsible for your work, and you should double-check anything and everything it gives you.
- Use AI as a starting point for discussion and analysis. Rather than accepting its responses uncritically, use them as a jumping-off point for further exploration and critical thinking. Consider how the responses align with or challenge your existing beliefs and theories.
- Avoid relying solely on AI for answers to open-ended questions. While AI can provide useful insights, they may not be able to fully address the complexity of the issues. Use your own critical thinking skills and additional research to explore these issues in more depth.
- Finally, remember that AI writers are machine learning tools designed to simulate human conversation. They are not a substitute for human interaction or discussion. Always seek out opportunities to engage with your peers and instructors to deepen your understanding of important concepts.”

- Example 1a – Some Use
- During our class, we may use AI Writing tools such as ChatGPT. You will be informed as to when, where, and how these tools are permitted to be used, along with guidance for attribution. Any use outside of this permission constitutes a violation of Bryant’s Academic Honesty Policy.
- Example 1b – Some Use
- We recognize that there are a variety of AI programs available to assist writers. AI programs are not a replacement for human creativity, originality, and critical thinking. Writing is a craft that you must develop over time to develop your own individual voice as a writer. However, within limited circumstances, and with proper attribution, AI programs may be used as a tool.
- Example 2 – All Use
- AI Writing tools such as ChatGPT are welcome in this class, provided that you cite when and how you use the tool. You will be provided with examples of how to cite your use of this tool in your writing.
- Example 3 – No Use
- AI Writing tools are not permitted for any stage or phase of work in this class. If you use these tools, your actions would be considered academically dishonest and a violation of Bryant’s Academic Honesty Policy.

- Leadership: Again, strong engagement of Senates and district/college shared governance, including Professional Learning, Online Learning, Distance Learning, Academic Integrity Teams supporting college communities with learning about AI, policy development, and importantly implementation, particularly with intentional focus on equity (algorithmic equity) and accessibility (Cuyamaca, Grossmont, Miracosta).
- Learning: Strong models of district/college learning infrastructure, including Professional Learning, Online Learning, Distance Learning, Academic Integrity Teams supporting in-person, online, and hyflex faculty learning. Some emerging shared leadership models of broader and more inclusive college-wide learning support Classified Professionals and Admins as well. (SDCCD, Miracosta PD: Faculty, Admin, and Classified Panel on AI in their College Work)
- Language: College communities are grappling with the process of developing AI policy language. Spectrum of differentiated development continues: under existing code of conduct/academic honesty, professor to professor AI syllabus statements, and then development of AI-specific policies and language (Grossmont, Palomar, MiraCosta, and Miramar).

- Counseling is starting to explore integrating AI in meaningful ways. So far, a new Cuyamaca Majors/Pathways Generator that a Career Services Counselor, helped generate, and the Outreach team is now using to help the High School students match up their goals and interests with a major/ACP that they can select when they apply to the college. We just launched this a couple weeks ago so we haven't found a place for it to live on our website.
- A Counselor is working on an AI chatbot around our FAQ so that it can be more interactive and easy for students to ask simple questions and get answers. Hopefully we can get this one done soon. We learned how to do this and got the tools for this when two Counselors took part in the inaugural PlayLab AI Professional Learning Community (PLC) - a collaboration between PlayLab AI, the Berkeley School of Education, and the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office.

- AI “Detection” Cautions
- We will likely revisit this institutionally over the next academic year, but many of you may be exploring how you can detect AI usage in student work over the summer. Short answer: when AI is used in not-very-sophisticated ways, it may be detectable by you or a technology. But relying on that detection will become ever more problematic as both AI and our students become more sophisticated. Some reading:
- AI Detection is a Business, but Should it be a Faculty Business? (Chronicle of Higher Ed)
- Do teachers spot AI? Evaluating the detectability of AI-generated texts among student essays (research study of instructor ability to detect AI-generated text)

- Resolution Regarding the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Courses
- Resolved, that the Miramar College Academic Senate endorses the following statements for faculty consideration when incorporating AI tools into their syllabi:
- Prohibition of AI Tools: In this course, students are not permitted to use AI tools for assignments, exams, or other coursework submissions. The objective is to promote direct engagement with the material and ensure the development of students’ critical thinking, problem-solving, and writing skills. Violations, including plagiarism or submission of AIgenerated content as original work, will be treated as academic misconduct according to the college's academic integrity policies.
- Permissive Use of AI Tools: In this course, students are allowed to use AI tools to assist with certain aspects of their coursework, such as research, drafting, and problem-solving. However, students must exercise critical judgment when evaluating AI-generated content for accuracy and relevance. All submissions must include a statement explaining the extent of AI assistance. Adherence to academic integrity policies is expected, and AI-generated content must not be presented as original work without proper citation.
- Encouraged Use of AI Tools: In this course, students are encouraged to explore the use of AI tools to enhance their learning experience. These tools can be used for brainstorming, research, and deepening understanding of complex concepts. Students must document the role AI played in their work and follow academic integrity guidelines, including proper attribution of AI-generated content. This approach aims to foster critical engagement with technology and innovation.

- Some emerging patterns/learnings from this snapshot in time (February 2025):
- Leadership: Senate continues to lead AI efforts across college communities, joined by Library Faculty and Staff, Online Education, and Distance Education teams, as well as discipline faculty close to AI or most impacted by AI (e.g., CS, English). As with all regions, students remain at the cusp of this AI work! Crafton Hills Student Science and Engineering Club
- Learning: Existing professional learning infrastructure is strongly tapped, including Online Education, Faculty PD teams, and Distance Education teams. Of particular note in this region is the value of centering not just faculty, but Classified Professionals in AI leadership and learning, and use of tools to save time and resources beyond instruction into A&R and Financial Aid.
- Language: Pattern of policy implementation continues, from use of existing BP/APs to the support of faculty by faculty policies with syllabus models and checklist, to college wide policies. (MSJC, VV)

- Science and Engineering Club: Code, Create, and Innovate Join
- Purpose
- We want to create a space for students of all majors and backgrounds to share their interest in engineering and science. We aim to have hands-on projects that can teach us more about engineering and science.
- Activities
- We have three projects for this semester. Two will be hands-on and the third will be a research seminar. The two projects we have in mind will be a UAV fixed-wing drone and the second one will be an R/C car from scratch. Potentially we would want to join an R/C competition with the club or take it to a track. The research seminar will be on Artificial Intelligence

- Our Distance Ed department provided one workshop on generative AI basics but most of our efforts have been offered by the classified professional development committee and specifically one classified professional who facilitated three workshops.
- Person 1 - We haven't. I took an interest in AI and started going to AI conferences and training, and I now present on AI at conferences and other colleges. Now, I work with the professional development coordinator to bring AI ideas to RCC as much as possible, but it's slow going.
- Person 2 - The professional development coordinator and I have focused on AI chatbots and generative AI applications.
- Person 2 - I provided training on prompting techniques for generative AI and an overview of AI in general. I am also doing an April AI Bingo event to get people involved.
- The classified professional development committee plans to launch an AI April campaign. Some individuals are now using AI in their day-to-day tasks, but that is only two or three of us so far.
