Artificial Intelligence (AI) in CSU Global Courses

It is essential to take a learning approach to help students understand that using artificial intelligence (AI) in the classroom can be exciting but should not be used as a substitute for submitting original thoughts and ideas. To support originality and have an ethical approach in the classroom, academic integrity and proper citations for sources, including any AI-generated work, should be expected.

Our new policy notes the ethical use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the classroom. Please review the policy update on the CSU Global Website and use the resources on this page to understand how to approach AI effectively and ethically.

Instructing in the AI Age

Supporting Academic Integrity and Originality

  •  Be clear and transparent about artificial intelligence usage and expectations. Let your students know how and when they can use AI tools effectively in the classroom, including on assignments, in the discussion board, and as a writing assistance tool.
  • Ensure you clearly understand the CSU Global policies surrounding AI (AI Policy) and refer students consistently to the policy on the CSU Global website.
  • Communicate how AI detection tools (Turnitin) will be used for submitted coursework.
    • Do not rely solely on detection tools when reviewing an assignment. Please use the AI Infographic for Faculty to determine if students are meeting assignment expectations, using appropriate sources, and submitting ethical work.
  • Be mindful of cultural sensitivities and language differences when using AI detection tools. Recognize that language nuances, cultural references, and academic conventions may vary among students. 
  • Provide open communication lines for students to ask questions and encourage students to engage in dialogue about the use of AI.
