Development of guidelines for the responsible use of digital technologies

2. Introduction to Guidelines for the Responsible Use of Digital Technologies in Higher Education Institutions

Guidelines for the responsible use of digital technologies, including generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools, in higher education institutions aim to establish a framework for the ethical and responsible use of digital technologies within the academic community. They should be aligned with the institutional strategy and core values that encompass respect, responsibility, and integrity.

The guidelines should incorporate at least six aspects described below; following their clarification, we also present examples of guidelines for the responsible use of digital technologies in higher education institutions.

Some of the following links and documents are available in Croatian only. Participants may use free AI-powered translation tools to access the provided materials.
