Artificial Intelligence for Teaching, Learning & Research

Welcome to this online module on artificial intelligence (AI) and information literacy! Watch this short introductory video to get started:

 

You should expect to spend about 1-2 hours reading/watching the information in this course and completing a couple short quizzes and activities. Once you're done, you will be able to evaluate how to use AI-based tools responsibly in your academic work.

One important note about communication, academic integrity, and your learning journey: Wayne State University’s Academic Misconduct Policy holds us all to standards of truth and academic honesty and prohibits any kind of activity that compromises the integrity of the institution or undermines the education process. Especially since the field of AI is changing so quickly, it is your responsibility to double-check the expectations of your instructors on all your assignments to make sure you are not using these AI-based tools in a prohibited way. Every WSU faculty member will have different expectations around using these tools in their classrooms and even within different assignments. As you use AI-based tools, we encourage you to make sure you're using them to help you learn more effectively and not to shortcut skills that are important for you to practice on your own.

Questions

If you are unsure if the use of an AI-based tool is an academic integrity violation, please talk to your course instructor. Every instructor will have different expectations around AI-based tools in their classroom, so it is your responsibility to double-check to ensure you are not committing an academic integrity violation.

If you have questions about information literacy or citations, please reach out to us in one of the following ways:
