Setting the AI permission level
Set your Validation parameters, starting with the AI permissions.
No AI: The assessment is intended to reflect the student's independent knowledge, understanding and skills without AI assistance at any stage
AI Planning: AI may be used to support early-stage activities such as brainstorming, outlining and initial research, while the final submission should reflect the student's own development and refinement of those ideas.
AI Collaboration: AI may be used to support parts of the task, including drafting, feedback and refinement, provided the student engages critically with the output and shapes the final submission in their own way.
Full AI: AI may be used throughout the task, with the emphasis on how effectively the student directs, evaluates and applies AI to meet the assessment goals.
AI Exploration: The assessment actively invites students to use AI creatively to explore new approaches, generate insights, or develop innovative responses within the task and/or discipline.
Setting the Validate threshold
The threshold sets how firmly the work must be anchored to the student, given the AI permission level you just chose from Essential, Comprehensive or Definitive.
Essential: Baseline benchmarks for authorship continuity and/or cognitive command signals. The baseline confirmation that the foundation is secure and the work is safely anchored to the student.
Comprehensive: Increased benchmarks for authorship continuity and/or cognitive command signals. A higher degree of certainty that the student is the primary driver of the work is required.
Definitive: Highest benchmarks for authorship continuity and/or cognitive command signals. The link between the student and the work must be rigorously demonstrated.
