Office for Students/Advance HE Inquiry into the use of AI within Higher Education

Description

Areas covered by the Inquiry:

Teaching and Learning:
What is the impact of student’s personal use of AI on their learning outcomes?
Are there any specific AI tools your institution is using to aid learning, and what impact are these having?

Academic Integrity:
What does robust, effective assessment look like in the age of AI?
Do assessments at your institutions meet these standards?

AI Skills and Literacy:
What does effective staff AI literacy training look like for you?

Access and Participation:
What is the potential for AI to improve access and participation?
We have heard a lot about the idea of ‘pay to win’ – that paid-for AI tools are much more powerful than the free versions. How can this challenge be addressed?
We’ve also heard that some students seem to be disproportionately subject to academic misconduct processes, especially international students. How can this be addressed?

Strategy Efficiency and Operations
What is your institution’s approach to AI and how consistently is it applied?
Are you aware of institutional initiatives that are using AI to improve efficiency?

Regulatory and Policy Environment
Are there any changes to the regulatory/ policy environment that would help you respond more effectively to AI?
