Cultivate learners' critical AI literacy and integrity-focused group practices for GenAI-supported group work¶

Strategy · All strategies
Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

The review frames responsible GenAI use in group work as a matter of academic integrity and collaborative accountability, urging that learners develop critical AI literacy and apply it through "integrity-focused group practices." Recommended safeguards include team agreements on acceptable AI use and disclosure, brief process notes documenting prompts and outputs, and checkpoints requiring groups to explain their reasoning and verify claims rather than only submitting polished final products.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Educators explicitly teach AI literacy, including supporting students to critically evaluate the limitations, biases, and design constraints of GenAI tools

Constraints¶

• The review notes the applicability of its recommendations is likely to vary across different educational contexts, and one included study was conducted with professionals rather than higher education students

Target Learners¶

• higher education students working in groups

Target Learning Goals¶

• responsible and transparent AI use
• academic integrity in collaborative work
• critical evaluation of AI-generated outputs

Related Strategies¶

• Renew writing assessment and integrity practice through AI-literacy instruction, process-focused assessment design, and contextual detector training
• Provide explicit instructional boundary cues, process-oriented assessment, and peer modeling of verification to frame responsible GenAI use
• Embed GenAI literacy and ethical use directly in nursing curricula rather than prohibiting it
• Embed AI literacy across disciplines by identifying intersections with existing content and using case studies, interdisciplinary modules, and collaborative projects
• Structure GenAI use guidelines as a scaffold progressing from what GenAI is, through affordances, to consequences and collective responsibilities
