AIUL-IU: Integrated Usage
AI usage is a required component of the assignment, with focus on sophisticated AI integration.
The AIUL-IU (Integrated Usage) license designates assignments where AI usage is a required component, with a focus on sophisticated AI integration and process documentation. This license is appropriate when working with AI tools is itself a core learning objective.
Purpose
This license establishes a framework for assignments that explicitly engage with AI tools as a central component of the learning experience. This approach is particularly valuable for:
- Teaching AI literacy and technical fluency
- Examining AI capabilities and limitations
- Developing prompt engineering skills
- Exploring ethical considerations in AI usage
- Understanding AI-integrated creative workflows
Guidelines for Students
Under this license, students should:
- Use AI tools extensively and intentionally as part of the assignment
- Demonstrate sophisticated prompt engineering and AI interaction techniques
- Document their process thoroughly, including prompts, iterations, and decision-making
- Reflect critically on the effectiveness and implications of their AI usage
- Be prepared to discuss both technical and ethical dimensions of their work with AI
Guidelines for Instructors
When using this license, instructors should:
- Provide clear guidance on expected AI tool usage
- Offer resources for developing prompt engineering skills
- Establish comprehensive documentation requirements
- Create opportunities for critical reflection on AI integration
- Design rubrics that evaluate both technical execution and conceptual understanding
Documentation Requirements
Documentation should typically include:
- Detailed description of AI tools and techniques employed
- Full prompt history showing iteration and refinement process
- Analysis of AI outputs and their integration into the final work
- Critical reflection on successes, limitations, and ethical considerations
- Connections between AI usage and broader learning objectives
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this license only for technical courses?
A: No, this license is appropriate for any course where engaging with AI is a explicit learning goal, including humanities, arts, and social sciences.
Q: How much AI usage is expected?
A: AI should be a central component of the assignment, not peripheral. The extent and sophistication of AI integration should reflect the learning objectives.
Q: What if the AI doesn’t produce what I expected?
A: Documenting challenges, limitations, and workarounds is a valuable part of the learning process under this license. Your reflections on these aspects are important.
