GenAI project showcase
Publication date: 10 Apr 2025
The convenience of Generative Artificial Intelligence motivates students to use it to write essays and answer exam questions on a wide range of topics. However, there is a lack of understanding around how students perceive, plan to and actually use GenAI in a morally responsible and fair manner.
This project, involving institutions from the UK and Ireland, aims to explore how higher education providers can better support students to use GenAI in their assessments in ethical and equitable ways, that can motivate and support their continuous learning, promoting fair and inclusive experiences.
Planned outputs
The project will create a set of curated resources for staff and students that will support the development of effective learning and teaching practices including:
- Themes (student perceptions on the use of GenAI in assessments ethically and equitably) based on student focus groups conducted at individual partner institutions
- Strategies on how to design assessments that are fit for purpose for the GenAI era
- Case studies which support the ethical and responsible use of GenAI among students
- Practical examples for the successful integration of disruptive technology into assessments, teaching and learning support.
The team will also deliver workshops to disseminate findings and share resources.

Research findings
In January 2025, the project team led an in-person event to share the initial findings, presenting their initial analysis. They also outlined their plans for sharing the research more widely and using it as the basis for future work with students to co-create learning resources for QAA Members. The resources are available below:
