New and rapidly evolving AI tools will undoubtably influence and change how our students approach their studies and research projects. To stay relevant, we need to change with them, and reconsider the way we deliver teaching and assessment at Newcastle University. More importantly, we need to recognise the significant benefits of these tools – and how we can all use them to best effect – rather than seeking to restrict their use.

In this first section we will review Newcastle University's 5 Principles for the use of AI, which align with Russell Group principles and reflect a greater emphasis on our long-term approach to living with evolving AI tools. These principles will inform the approach of this course and the sections that follow, and you are encouraged to read and consider their use in your own contexts.

Section contents - 5 principles for the use of AI:

Students and colleagues will be supported in developing their AI literacy
Teaching and assessment strategies will be adapted to incorporate AI
Academic integrity and rigour in assessment will be upheld
Innovation, collaboration and sharing best practice will be fostered
We will adapt as AI technologies evolve.
