Academic Integrity Policy
Teaching Channel expects all course participants to complete their work with integrity, in alignment with graduate-level standards set by our institution and university partners. By agreeing to this policy, you pledge to uphold the standards outlined below. Failure to follow the policy may result in loss of credit or the inability to enroll in future courses. Please contact our office with any questions.
Plagiarism: Plagiarism is presenting another person’s work as your own. The following examples are considered plagiarism:
- Using text from another source, including a website, without *citation
- Submitting the same work for multiple courses (“self-plagiarism”)
- Two or more students submitting the same coursework without approval to collaborate
*We recognize that your coursework will reference the course textbook, readings, and media, therefore it is not necessary to cite the resources included in the course.
Professional Communication: All coursework must reflect respectful communication. Submissions containing inappropriate, offensive, or harmful content will not be accepted and will be returned for revision.
Artificial Intelligence: We recognize that artificial intelligence (AI) is an emerging and evolving technology embedded in many aspects of our lives. We embrace the benefits AI offers educators, such as enhancing efficiency in planning, supporting differentiated instruction, and serving as a thought partner. However, please remain mindful that AI-generated material may be inaccurate, incomplete, or otherwise problematic.
Please use the following guidelines if completing your work with the assistance of AI:
- Consider AI as a collaborator and use your preferred tool(s) to generate ideas that enhance your learning and creativity.
- Modify any AI-generated output to make it your own (e.g. applicable to your audience, differentiated for unique student needs, relevant to your educational environment) and to meet course requirements.
- To the best of your ability, verify the AI generated coursework you are submitting is accurate and without bias.
