About this course

Students can now produce a polished essay in seconds. Banning AI doesn’t work, and AI detectors are unreliable. This course helps you build clear, fair AI-use policies and redesign assignments so they reward authentic thinking, without turning your classroom into a detection arms race.

We cover task-level AI-use levels, responding fairly to suspected misuse, process-based assessment, bias and fairness in AI systems, student data privacy under India’s DPDP Act, and teaching students to be responsible AI users and critical consumers of deepfakes and misinformation.

What you’ll learn

  • Write a clear, task-level AI-use policy using a levelled scale
  • Explain why AI detectors must never be used as sole evidence
  • Respond to suspected misuse through a fair, process-based conversation
  • Redesign assignments so the thinking process is visible
  • Identify bias, privacy and safety risks in AI tools used in school
  • Plan lessons that teach students ethical, critical AI use
