Below are some highlights of resources available to UIS faculty on the COLRS Website.
Please contact COLRS for more information or assistance!
Generative AI Policies
We encourage instructors to be explicit about their generative AI (ChatGPT) policy in their syllabus, on assignments, and during class.
- UIS faculty syllabus statements on AI and academic integrity are available on the COLRS Generative AI page.
- Lance Eaton, from College Unbound, is collecting classroom policies on AI.
- The Sentient Syllabus Project has some language to consider.
- Check out Ryan Watkin's Update Your Course Syllabus for ChatGPT on Medium.
Accessibility: UDOIT 3 Course Scans
UDOIT 3 is an updated tool for checking the accessibility of your Canvas course as a whole. It checks all Canvas pages in a course at once, walks you through the issues discovered, and provides instruction on how to fix them. The new version is easier to use, more accurate, and accessed through your Canvas course menu. Learn about scanning your course with UDOIT.
Examity Live Proctoring Resources
The Examity Live Proctoring tool has been updated recently. This proctoring service charges students a fee per test that is based on test length. Faculty who use this tool will find updated documentation and student resources on the COLRS Academic Integrity site.
