Protecting Learning: A Practical Guide to AI-Use Policy for Instructors, Departments, and Schools

Description

"Protecting Learning: A Practical Guide to AI-Use Policy for Instructors, Departments, and Schools" addresses the challenge of protecting student learning in the age of generative AI. Developed by a faculty working group at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering as part of its AI Across the Curriculum initiative, the guide offers practical approaches to developing AI-use policies grounded in educational objectives rather than a single prescribed standard. Drawing on research and practices from within and beyond NYU, it provides policy language, guidance, and templates that instructors, departments, and schools can adapt to their own contexts. The guide emphasizes that effective AI-use policies should not only establish clear expectations but also be developed through a process that engages the people they affect.
