This talk will look at the evolution of a GenAI policy at a language centre at a tertiary institution in Hong Kong. Since GenAI arrived in December 2022, the language centre has been striving to keep up with the technology. At the same time, there is a need to clearly explain to students and teachers what is allowed or not allowed with GenAi, as well as trying to uphold academic integrity.
GenAI affects all subjects. With language subjects, the ability of large language models to produce highly accurate and increasingly appropriate text in response to a wide variety of questions is especially challenging.
Initially, the centre did try to avoid (or ignore) it in some subjects; in other subjects there was an attempt to try to outrun it (and often failed miserably); and now the centre s looking at how GenAI can be embraced and adopted, while still maintaining academic integrity and raison d'etre, a language learning centre in a university. The session will look at different possible models for AI use, including the AI Assessment Scale, and the two-lane approach from the University of Sydney. Different examples from the Centre’s subjects will be covered during the session, including how assessments in different subjects have been adapted for AI. The session will end with some thoughts of a possible way forward.
