Before learners use AI for an assignment
A practical, responsible pre-submission checklist for learners.
AI can help you question, practise and organise. It should not replace your judgement or hide where ideas came from.
Before you begin
- Read the task and mark what must be your own work.
- Choose a specific learning job, such as generating practice questions or explaining a difficult term.
- Do not enter private personal information, assessment answers supplied in confidence or someone else’s work.
Before you submit
- Check every factual claim against your prescribed material or a reliable source.
- Rewrite only from your own understanding, not to disguise copied output.
- Disclose AI use when your school or teacher requires it.
- Keep a short record of prompts, useful output and corrections.
