We touched on this space earlier in the year. Technological developments in this area are moving rapidly and they are very exciting. We have needed to support some students with the Academic Integrity implication of Artificial Intelligence and feel that now is a good time to remind everyone of our position to reduce the chances that students are penalised later in the year for not meeting expectations.

Here is a snapshot of Artificial Intelligence from the Rosny College 2023 Academic Integrity Policy:

‘The use of material produced by Artificial Intelligence (such as ChatGPT) without acknowledgement is a breach of Academic Integrity, as all senior secondary students are expected to undertake their studies in a way that is honest and fair.’

This means that:

• all work you submit for marking must be your own work
• you must acknowledge where you have borrowed or used someone else’s work
• Whenever you use someone else ideas, images, information, words, data or music in your work, you must acknowledge where you got that idea (or image, information, etc.) from. This includes Artificial Intelligence programs such as ChatGPT. This is done by including accurate references throughout your work.

Referencing allows teachers and markers to clearly see what parts of your work are your own, what parts you have borrowed from other people’s work, and where you found it.
