Teaching and Learning with Integrity in the Age of GenAI
Course Description
This course introduces the principles of integrity in higher education and examines the implications of generative AI (GenAI) for the purpose of academia and will begin with an introduction to integrity in higher education and the maintenance of societal trust. You will explore how integrity has become a developmental capability essential for navigating uncertainty, exercising sound judgement, and upholding values that protect human dignity and flourishing.
The course is structured around:
Independent Learning (3.5 hours). Engagement with selected contemporary readings that will stimulate inquiry and reflection.
Self-paced online activity (1.5 hrs) Completion of the contextualised UQ Staff Academic Integrity Modules to be informed of key integrity priorities, issues and best practices.
Workshops (4 hours). Two collaborative workshops will extend your individual study by focusing on the teaching and learning implications of GenAI. Together, we will examine how educators can intentionally cultivate students’ capacity to act with integrity and make ethical decisions. The workshops will explore effective teaching and learning strategies, such as role modelling, intentional design, and creating learning environments where ethical reasoning, critical reflection and responsible GenAI use are explicitly taught and modelled.
Reflection and action planning (1 hour) Reflecting on what you have learnt from the course, this templated activity will help you draft a mini action plan for integrating one ethical principle into your next teaching activity, course or project.
Outcomes
By the end of this course, participants should be able to:
- Explain the role of integrity in higher education and analyse how GenAI is reshaping academic purpose, professional expectations and societal trust.
- Evaluate integrity-related opportunities and risks of GenAI in teaching and learning, informed by contemporary readings, practice and critical reflection.
- Apply pedagogical strategies that intentionally cultivate students’ ethical decision-making into your teaching practice.
