[Using AI at University] 

[Prof. Ale Armellini, Dead of Education and Digital Innovation]

Artificial Intelligence tools like ChatGPT and Copilot are becoming part of everyday life and work.

[AI in Everyday Life] 

[AI is everywhere]

[Free Microsoft Copilot]

[Modern study and work]

At the University of Portsmouth you have free access to Microsoft 365, which includes Copilot, a generative AI assistant designed to support a wide range of tasks.

[What AI helps with]

[Generates ideas, plan, improve, explore, manage time]

AI can help you generate ideas, plan projects, improve writing, explore complex topics and manage your time.

[Why AI Skills Matter]

[Future-ready skills, digital confidence, Humans and AI together]

Using AI well now helps prepare you for a workplace where human judgement and digital tools complement each other.

We want you to feel confident using AI responsibly while making sure your work remains your own.

[Responsible Use]

[Your work must be your own]

[AI acknowledgment form in ever assessment]

That’s why every summative assessment in Moodle now includes an AI acknowledgment form. The golden rule is “Own what you submit”.

[Own what you submit]

[What the AI Acknowledgement Form is]

[If/how AI supported you]

[Fairness and trust]

This simple form enables you to acknowledge whether, and if so how, AI has supported your work. It gives you an opportunity to explain the role it played in your learning. This helps your lecturers understand your approach and supports fairness and trust across the University.

[Why the Form Matters]

The form is important. If it is not completed, or not completed accurately, lecturers may need to contact you about your submission. You must not use AI to do the work for you.

[What not to do]

Submitting AI generated work as your own is academic misconduct. You may be asked to discuss your work to demonstrate your understanding.

[Own what you submit]

“Own what you submit” is the golden rule. AI should help you learn, not learn for you.

[Key takeaways; use AI responsibly, complete the AI acknowledgement form honestly]

Use it responsibly, complete the acknowledgment form honestly, and make sure your work always reflects your own unique thinking, understanding and the skills you have developed while studying at university.
