Patterns & learnings
  • Some emerging patterns/learnings from this snapshot in time (February 2025):
  • Leadership: Senate continues to lead AI efforts across college communities, joined by Library Faculty and Staff, Online Education, and Distance Education teams, as well as discipline faculty close to AI or most impacted by AI (e.g., CS, English). As with all regions, students remain at the cusp of this AI work! Crafton Hills Student Science and Engineering Club
  • Learning: Existing professional learning infrastructure is strongly tapped, including Online Education, Faculty PD teams, and Distance Education teams. Of particular note in this region is the value of centering not just faculty, but Classified Professionals in AI leadership and learning, and use of tools to save time and resources beyond instruction into A&R and Financial Aid.
  • Language: Pattern of policy implementation continues, from use of existing BP/APs to the support of faculty by faculty policies with syllabus models and checklist, to college wide policies. (MSJC, VV)

  • Not yet found. Appears to rely on the student code of conduct academic integrity.
  • “Plagiarism is any conduct in academic work or programs involving misrepresentation of someone else’s words, ideas, or data as one’s original work including, but not limited to, the following:
  • Intentionally representing as one’s own work the work, words, ideas, or arrangement of ideas, research, formulae, diagrams, statistics, or evidence of another.
  • Taking sole credit for ideas and/or written work that resulted from collaboration with others.
  • Paraphrasing or quoting material without citing the source.”
  • submitting as one’s own a copy of or the actual work of another person, either in part or in entirety, without appropriate citation (e.g., term-paper mill or Internet-derived products).
  • Library Guide
  • COD Definition of Plagiarism
  • Syllabus Example (Comm 101)
  • “Academic Integrity
  • In accordance with College of the Desert’s Student Code of Conduct, cheating and plagiarism will not be tolerated. Incidents of cheating and/or plagiarism will result in a failing grade on the work and a report filed with the Office of Student Life.
  • Generative AI Policy
  • Generative AI tools may be able to help you generate ideas/topics for your assignments, formulate structure for your written work and speech outlines, and find existing research on the topic. These uses are permitted in this course. I will also permit you to use AI tools to edit your work and improve your use of language. If you use an AI tool in any of these ways to support your work, it must be included as a source/citation following APA or MLA styles. You cannot use the output from a generative AI tool as a reference when your work requires outside sources to support your thesis or central idea statement in a speech.
  • All of your writing in this course must be your own; you may not use AI text generators to write any portion of the written work you submit or for any portion of a speech you deliver. Using AI tools in this way will be treated as a case of plagiarism per the Academic Integrity policy above.”
  • Syllabus Example AIS 013 - Office Workplace Employment Preparation (Prof Michelle Richards)
  • Acceptable & Unacceptable Uses of AI
  • The use of generative AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Dall-e, etc.) is permitted in this course for the following activities:
  • Brainstorming and refining your ideas;
  • Fine tuning your research questions;
  • Finding information on your topic;
  • Drafting an outline to organize your thoughts; and
  • Checking grammar and style.
  • The use of generative AI tools is not permitted in this course for the following activities:
  • Impersonating you in classroom contexts, such as by using the tool to compose discussion board prompts assigned to you or content that you put into a Zoom chat.
  • Completinggroupworkthatyourgrouphasassignedtoyou,unlessitismutuallyagreedupon that you may utilize the tool.
  • Writing a draft of a writing assignment.
  • Writing entire sentences,paragraphs or papers to complete class assignments.
  • You are responsible for the information you submit based on an AI query (for instance, that it does not violate intellectual property laws, or contain misinformation or unethical content).
  • Your use of AI tools must be properly documented and cited in order to stay within college policies on academic honesty. For example, see the Library resources for APA guidance. Any assignment that is found to have used generative AI tools in unauthorized ways will be reviewed via COD Academic Integrity guidelines. When in doubt about permitted usage, please ask for clarification.
  • Adopted by permission, Temple University, Center for Advancement of Teaching
  • Syllabus Example KINE 010 - Personal & Community Health (Professor Yuen Tse)
  • “AI generated work
  • While artificial intelligence (AI) is widely used, AI-generated passages are someone else' works, thoughts and analysis. In this course, I would love to see your own thoughts, insights and ideas. How you organize your thoughts and put words together in a sentence communicate about you and it matters to me! Sometimes it can be hard to express yourself but it is a learning process. This course is to equip and challenge you to become a competent learner! Most of the assignments in this course require your very own reflections and analysis, rather than textbook facts and ideas. Therefore, AI-generated submissions are not permitted and will be treated as a violation of the standards of the COD Code of Academic Integrity. Use of ChatGPT (or other similar tools or software that generate suggested text) is not allowed in this class for any part of a graded assignment, including generation of ideas, writing of text, or rewriting your own work. Violations could result in failure of the assignment or failure of the course. AI-generated works will be graded zero and redo is not allowed.”
  • Syllabus Example PSY 001 - General Psychology (Professor Wendy Brooks, Psy.D.)
  • Policy on the Use of Generative AI in Written Assignments, Quizzes and Exams
  • Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is a relatively new technology that is rapidly developing. Like the internet in general, these AI tools, like ChatGPT or Gemini, are neither good or bad when it comes to accessing and utilizing information. Instead, they are a new way in which we can interact with information.
  • I highly recommend that students complete their own work. Despite this recommendation, many students choose to use AI tools to assist them in completing assignments. Overall, AI tools should be used wisely and reflectively to deepen their understanding of subject matter.
  • If using Generative AI, College of the Desert students are expected to adhere to the same standards as the Code of Conduct on plagiarism. Presenting generative AI software content as your own is a violation of academic integrity and you will receive an F on the assignment. If you use generative AI in your work, you must indicate that you have done so.
  • Students are not allowed to use AI tools during quizzes or exams.
  • In this course, if you choose to use Generative AI tools (which is strongly discouraged), students must give credit to the Generative AI tools whenever used, even if only to generate ideas.
  • If you choose to use Generative AI tools on written assignments, you must add an appendix showing:
  • the entire exchange with Generative AI, highlighting the most relevant sections.
  • a description of precisely which AI tools were used (e.g. ChatGPT private subscription version or DALL-E free version).
  • an explanation of how the AI tools were used (e.g. to generate ideas, create an outline, word choice, elements of text, long stretches of text, construction of argument, pieces of evidence, maps of the concepts, illustrations of key concepts, citations or any other use).
  • the reasons why AI tools were used (e.g. to save time, to surmount writer’s block, to stimulate thinking, to handle mounting stress, to clarify writing, to translate text, to experiment for fun, or any other reason).
  • you need to cite AI appropriately. APA has guidelines for citing AI.

  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) in this Course
  • [While the AI policy itself is yours to create, you are required to have one. Example: By now, you may be familiar with ChatGPT and other AI language models some students use to enhance or complete their assignments. In my class, you are not authorized to use AI language tools, software, or artwork-generating programs (or similar programs) to produce work for this class. Work written by or created by AI tools is not your own original work, and moreover, the work is ultimately plagiarized from the various sources the program gathers information from. Therefore, work generated from these tools is not accepted in this class.]
