Library and Learning Services, Academic Registry, and UndebAber are collaborating on Generative AI guidance and advice.

Following approval at the recent Education and Student Experience Committee, we are pleased to share these resources with you ready for next academic year. 

  1. A Statement on the use of Generative AI

This statement outlines the principles and approach that AU intends to use for Generative AI across all its operations. 

  1. Guidance for students on using Generative AI

This document provides guidance and advice to students on how they might want to use Generative AI as a study tool. This document uses a traffic light system approach to alert students to the amount of caution they might want to apply in its use.

  1. Generative AI e-submission template statement

A statement has been added to the Blackboard course template for 2025-26 Courses providing advice and guidance for students on acceptable use of Generative AI and where to get support and help.

  1. Generative AI Assessment Learning Object Repository Statements

You can copy Generative AI assessment statements into your Blackboard course to communicate to students the acceptable use of Generative AI on the assessment. See our blogpost for further information on how to do this.

  1. A Generative AI Tool Use Statement

Designed by the Department of Law and Criminology, and already being used by some departments, this amended Tool Use statement allows students to outline how they have used Generative AI in their assessments. Students fill out the form and insert the tool use statement into their word document before submission.

The tool use statement can be downloaded from our webpage and uploaded to Blackboard.

There is a dedicated webpage for Generative AI advice and guidance where we place our support materials and advice.

We have consulted widely with colleagues and students on this matter, and we’d like to thank those who have helped shape this guidance.

Please direct staff enquiries to elearning@aber.ac.uk or contact your subject librarian.
