AI for Student Success

Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are powerful tools that are growing more common even as we continue learning more about their abilities and limitations. We encourage students to keep this key question in mind when deciding how to use AI:

Am I using AI in a way that helps me learn and develop mastery?

Read the 性世界传媒 AI statement and follow these guidelines from the statement:

Exercise responsibility for the content you create and stay engaged in the learning process (with or without AI).
Check for instructor permission about AI use (related to learning outcomes of class activities/assignments).
Where permission exists, make sure to disclose any use of AI for class activities or assignments (by formal citation, less formal attribution, and/or a framing statement as appropriate).
If an instructor has not explicitly invited use of AI, ask permission before utilizing AI for ANY assignments.

Watch the "" video for more guidance and examples.

Note: AI systems can provide incomplete or false information ("hallucinations"). Double-check any AI output and be sure the responses make sense and you understand any steps that are presented. You are ultimately responsible for your learning and the accuracy of information.

An Introduction to AI and AI Literacy

chatbot - Use this chatbot for a brief, interactive introduction to AI literacy topics along with opportunities to apply AI to several learning and success activities.

- When you build skills and habits for using GenAI ethically and effectively you will establish yourself as a thoughtful creator and consumer of GenAI content as technologies change over time.

- A resource for students, built by students, to provide ways to use generative artificial intelligence productively and responsibly as part of one’s learning journey.

- This five-part video series (a total of less than one hour of content) provides an overview of AI large language models for educators and students.

- A partnership with other thought leaders in educational technology to develop a set of resources to help the world better understand some of the ways that generative artificial intelligence can be used to improve human intelligence and learning outcomes.

AI Systems and Tools

is Google's AI large language model, similar to ChatGPT. Gemini can interact with several other Google Workplace apps.
enables students to upload documents, then interact with only the content that has been uploaded. Options include having a conversation or having the system create a study guide, podcast, or mindmap.

- A collection of small, simple, single-task tools, mostly designed to help neurodivergent people with tasks they find overwhelming or difficult. Tools include an expandable to-do list, project time estimator, and explainer.

Large Language Models (LLMs) - AIs such as Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude and Copilot are versatile tools that can provide personalized support and enhance academic productivity for college students. These AI systems can assist with a variety of tasks, including brainstorming ideas, explaining complex topics, and offering constructive feedback on written work. LLMs can help students prepare for exams by generating customized practice questions based on uploaded study materials. Because of the University's license with Google, interactions with Gemini are more secure than when using other LLMs.
