Leveraging Generative Artificial Intelligence with Transparency: Enhancing Academic Integrity in Higher Education

Abstract

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools have brought substantial changes to the education system, in particular to the writing process. Students must learn how to use these tools correctly and with integrity. It is the role of institutions and instructors to convey to students the importance of transparency, and how to display it when using GenAI tools to write assignments. In this paper, a theoretical model of academic assignment writing is presented, explaining at which phases of the writing process GenAI can be used with integrity and which phases must absolutely be done by the student. The appropriate use of GenAI tools when deploying informational, writing and referencing competencies to write an assignment is discussed. Advice on modifying existing institutional academic integrity policies, giving clear guidelines and permissions are presented as well as various methods of declaring GenAI usage.
