Examples of good practice in integrating artificial intelligence tools and systems into the curriculum
1. Introduction
1.2. Miami University
At Miami University, AI is integrated into the curriculum primarily to support the development of academic writing skills. The technology is used to generate, organise, and structure ideas, but a key pedagogical component is for students to critically examine and refine the content that AI produces.
The curriculum includes reflective activities in which students analyse how using AI affects their writing, expression, and argumentation processes, and consider ethical issues related to authorship, originality, and academic integrity.
This approach does not view AI simply as a technical aid, but as a partner in the learning process, helping students self-regulate and develop metacognitive skills. Teachers encourage students to clearly indicate when and how they have used AI, which further strengthens awareness of responsible and transparent technology use.
🔹 Why this is a good practice:
- AI is used as a pedagogical tool to develop an in-depth understanding, not as mere technical support.
- The student’s role is active and reflective – they learn to recognize the benefits and limitations of technology in an academic context.
- Academic integrity, critical thinking, and independent writing are emphasized.
🔹 What other teachers can do:
- The inclusion of reflective tasks that encourage reflection on the role of artificial intelligence in learning and writing.
- Setting clear guidelines for transparent use of technology.
- Developing activities that connect technical and ethical aspects of the use of artificial intelligence.
