AIUL-CD-CO
Conceptual Development for Code
About This License Combination
This is a combination of the AIUL-CD license (Conceptual Development) and the CO modifier (Code).
License: AIUL-CD (Conceptual Development)
Description: AI tools may be used for research and ideation, but the final work must be entirely student-generated.
What it means: you may use AI tools for research and idea generation, but the final work must be entirely your own. You must document any AI tools used in your process.
When to Use
- Students can benefit from AI-assisted research or ideation
- You want students to use AI for background knowledge or conceptual exploration
- Final execution should demonstrate the student's own technical abilities
Modifier: CO (Code)
Description: For assignments involving programming or software development
Applicable Tools
- Code completion tools (GitHub Copilot, Amazon CodeWhisperer)
- Large language models for code generation
- Automated code explanation or documentation tools
- Debugging assistants
- Code refactoring and optimization tools
Considerations
- Consider whether understanding core programming concepts or producing functional software is more important
- Distinguish between using AI for boilerplate code versus core logic implementation
- Be specific about which aspects of development can use AI assistance
- Programming assignments may benefit from requiring comments explaining AI-generated code
- Consider requirements for testing and validating AI-generated code
