Course overview

Responsible AI skills for today’s student

Generative AI can explain difficult ideas, support revision, help organise research and provide useful feedback. It can also invent facts, reproduce bias and create serious academic-integrity problems if used without judgement.

This Level 2 programme helps students understand both sides. Learners explore where AI can genuinely support education, where human judgement must take over, and how to make responsible decisions before using AI-generated material in study or assessment.

It is when an AI system generates inaccurate, unsupported or invented information that may still sound convincing. Learners practise checking claims rather than accepting them automatically.

Students may accidentally disclose personal information, unpublished assessment material or other confidential data. Responsible AI use includes knowing what should not be uploaded.

Yes. It is practical and accessible, using demonstrations, discussion, guided tasks and familiar study scenarios rather than programming.

Yes. Lewes Training Centre can discuss group delivery and alignment with the organisation’s own academic-integrity and AI-use expectations.
