At a glance

Irvine Valley College's AI Taskforce, established under the Academic Senate and Online Education Committee, coordinates faculty development through the IVC Hub Center for Professional Learning, which runs an AI Workshop Series and hosts a campus book club on teaching integrity in the age of AI. The college offers non-credit community education courses in AI and machine learning (via ed2go) and supports two active student clubs focused on AI and medical AI applications. IVC has drafted syllabus guidelines with sample AI-use policies but has not yet adopted a formal institutional AI policy, and its academic honesty policy does not currently reference generative AI.

  • AI Taskforce Syllabus Guidelines
  • Bryant University
  • 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.
