Applying the Five-Stage Framework to teaching, learning and assessment.
Download the materials to support your participation in the workshop and apply the Five-Stage Framework in your own teaching and assessment practice.
A concise guide to the five stages—Explore, Analyse, Synthesize, Create and Document—and the principles for ethical AI use in teaching, learning and assessment
Explore five discipline-specific scenarios from Chemistry, History, Music, Business Studies and Sociology. Each scenario illustrates how ethical AI use depends on the knowledge and competence being assessed, rather than simply the AI tool or task involved.
An editable worksheet for applying the Five-Stage Framework to your own teaching and assessment practice. Identify the learning outcomes, determine where AI can provide appropriate support, and establish boundaries that protect the knowledge and competences being assessed.
A practical template for recording AI tools, prompts, outputs, human contributions and decisions throughout an academic task. Supports transparent documentation, responsible AI use and academic integrity.
The resources provided above support practical application of the Five-Stage Framework. Use the disciplinary scenarios to examine ethical AI decisions, then apply the teaching and assessment worksheet to an activity from your own discipline.
The central question is not simply whether AI has been used, but whether its use supports or substitutes the knowledge and competence being assessed.
Consider how the assessment purpose changes the ethical judgement about AI use.
Use the worksheet to define appropriate AI support and protect assessed competences.
Record AI contributions, human decisions and responsibility for the final work.

Thank you for participating in the ALTC26 workshop, Teaching Ethical AI Use Across Disciplines.
The Five-Stage Framework is intended to support continuing discussion and practical development of ethical AI use in higher education.
I welcome opportunities to exchange ideas, explore disciplinary applications and discuss institutional implementation.
