GAiIT Level 3: Limited Generative Ai Permitted

GAiIT Level 3: Limited Ai Use

gaiIT Level 3

Level Summary

Ai use is permitted but limited to ideation & information gathering. Limited to: Generating ideas to start, general content area research, writing assistance, images, but may not make up any uncited portion of the final draft.

Description:

Ai can serve as an assistant to the ideation process, providing a guide to research or work in a specific direction. Ai can provide ideas and options and serve as a consultant for project or lesson plan starting points to help overcome the inertia of beginning the project.

Situations or courses where LEVEL 3 is applied:

Most academic work at the university level will likely fall under this category unless expressly indicated by the course designers. GAiIT level 3 could be considered the “default” setting for Ai inclusion—the key to success at G3 centers on citing the use of Ai where appropriate.

Bona Fide at this level states that if Ai is used to do any of the cognitive work , the contributions made by the generative Ai will need to be cited. Without citations, there’s a risk that student work may come under more intensive review and viewed as academic plagiarism.

LEVEL 3 assignment types

Ai is sequestered to provide a starting point for a complicated process, providing a basic outline or initial insights, but does not contribute to the content of the final product. Ai facilitates the planning process so that the student may more effiecently address the key elements in the assignment. This level is particularly useful when the student will need to acquire additional skills to complete the assignment that were not part of the core instruction. For example, if the student is asked to produce a certain type of presentation, has little idea how to produce that type of presentation, nor has been explicitly instructed on it. The Ai could produce an instruction set for the student to learn how to accomplish the task at hand. The project is a means to express learned knowledge and not the point of the classes learning objectives.
