Students may use AI for brainstorming and structuring ideas, but final work must be completely student-authored.
Useful for initial stages of semester-long projects, where AI can help with idea development, initial research, or generating a project plan. Students may use AI to overcome writer’s block or generate a greater variety of project ideas.
| Type of Assessment | Example in a Discipline |
|---|---|
|
Simulations and Role Plays Students can use AI to conduct background research during their preparation for the simulation, then engage in live debate, role play, and simulation of real-world situations in class, sometimes over multiple class sessions. Students could be assessed for participating in the simulation and for their post-simulation reflections on what they learned and how they would apply that learning in their future career. |
Business Ethics Students role-play crucial conversations around conflict of interest in sales or contracts awarded to external consultants. Students can use AI to research prior precedent or similar cases, then propose original solutions.
Environmental Science/Urban Planning Students participate in a simulation of community consultation on the site of windmills or a new hydro power station. Stakeholders include the local Indigenous community, local government, residents, and NGOs. |
|
Analysis of AI-Generated Critical Incidents Students can use AI to create a critical incident based on an ethical dilemma or common challenge in the field related to a key course theme. Students could analyze the case using concepts from class and propose next steps, draft a prevention strategy, and compare possible solutions.
|
Human Resources Students role-play a team conflict, performance management scenario, case study of inclusive hiring initiatives, or revision of outdated policies that represent settler/colonial practices.
Architecture/Construction Students complete a case study of a design dilemma, such as the impact of mass timber vs. steel roof on the design of a multi-storey building.
Computer Science Students complete a case study of a common coding error or security risk in a software development class. |
