Academic Integrity

ECU's academic-misconduct guidance states that plagiarism includes unacknowledged use of a generative artificial intelligence tool such as ChatGPT.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence94%

Normalized value: unacknowledged_genai_use_is_plagiarism

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Plagiarism is defined as presenting, intentionally or unintentionally, the ideas or work of another person as one's own ideas, or work without appropriate referencing or acknowledgement. Plagiarism is the most common and well-known form of academic misconduct. It also includes unacknowledged use of a generative artificial intelligence tool such as ChatGPT

Academic Integrity

ECU tells students that the same academic-integrity rules that apply to traditional study also apply to generative AI, and that submitting AI-generated work without permission is an academic-integrity breach.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence92%

Normalized value: existing_academic_integrity_rules_apply_to_genai

Original evidence

Evidence 1
At ECU, the same rules of academic integrity that apply to traditional study also apply to Generative AI. That means honesty, fairness and doing your own work.

Original evidence

Evidence 2
Submitting AI-generated work without permission is an academic integrity breach, just like plagiarism. It's also risky to trust AI to write your content as it may hallucinate information or sources.

Academic Integrity

ECU Library guidance says students who use generative AI as a study or research tool must acknowledge that use in their assessment, and that not giving credit to GenAI tools counts as plagiarism.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence91%

Normalized value: genai_use_must_be_acknowledged

Original evidence

Evidence 1
If you use generative AI like a tool to help your study and research process (as discussed in this guide), you must still acknowledge the use you have put it to even though it has not been used to directly create assessment output.

Original evidence

Evidence 2
Not giving credit to Gen AI tools counts as plagiarism. If you get caught, you could get anything from a warning letter to losing marks, failing the assignment, or even more serious actions like being suspended.

Ai Tool Treatment

Edith Cowan University has a public Artificial Intelligence Framework intended to empower staff and students to use AI productively and ethically, with ethical principles and responsible-use guidance rather than a standalone prohibition.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence90%

Normalized value: public_ai_framework_productive_ethical_use

Original evidence

Evidence 1
The purpose of this framework is to empower and enable staff and students to productively and ethically use AI, in line with ECU's vision to lead the sector in the educational experience, research with impact, and in positive contributions to industry and communities.

Original evidence

Evidence 2
Productive use will be primarily supported by practical Guidelines for Responsible Use. They articulate the application of the Ethical Principles to different domains of work, which at this stage are: Learning, Teaching and Student Support; Research and Research Training; Organisational Productivity.

Teaching

ECU provides student-facing generative-AI learning support that covers responsible use, learning, academic integrity, prompt strategies, attribution, drop-ins, and workshops.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence90%

Normalized value: student_genai_learning_support_available

Original evidence

Evidence 1
ECU students can access a range of resources on Canvas that offer guidance on using these tools. In alignment with ECU's Ethical Framework, these resources include: advice on how to use gen AI for learning and demonstrating academic integrity; practical prompt strategies for obtaining meaningful feedback; guides for correctly attributing AI-assisted work.
