Course use
Your use of materials with genAI to create coursework and assessments may be covered by the educational statutory licence (S113P, the same way PDF readings are in the Course Readings system). Any use with genAI will have the same restrictions around what and how much you may be able to use, plus limitations on what genAI tools can be used.
Students may be able to rely on fair dealing for certain uses, especially where this use is self-driven. Where you direct students to use a genAI tool in a course or assessment, the use may fall under the educational statutory licence instead (with the associated restrictions) - this is still to be confirmed.
Potential staff reliance on fair dealing may be more limited due to the needs staff may have around use/s of genAI outputs.
University-owned materials, including course/Canvas materials, can only be uploaded into systems endorsed by the Univerity (currently only Microsoft Copilot).
Student-created materials should not be uploaded into genAI without prior informed consent from the student/s involved (unless otherwise covered in the Policy on the Use of Generative AI in Teaching, Learning and Assessment), and the use must be limited to endorsed genAI systems.
See the accordions for student-created materials, fair dealing, the educational statutory licence, disability exceptions, and University-owned materials above for more information.
It's also important to check out the accordions for using your own materials and data security.
