How to Document Your AI Use
When you use AI tools (like ChatGPT or other Generative AI) in your studies or assignments, it’s important to keep a clear record of what you did. This protects your academic honesty and helps you explain your process if asked.
Why Document Your AI Use?
- Shows you’ve used AI responsibly.
- Helps your Learning Facilitator understand how you created your work.
- Makes it easier for you to reference AI correctly.
- Protects you if there are questions about your assignment.
What Should You Record?
Whenever you use an AI tool, write down:
- Which AI tool you used (e.g., Scopus AI).
- The date and time you used it.
- What you asked the AI (your prompt or question).
- What the AI gave you back (the response or summary).
How to Use Your Notes
- Use your notes to write your Statement of Acknowledgement.
- Refer to them when you add references or explain your process.
- Keep your documentation until you get your grade, just in case you need to answer questions.
Tips for Good Documentation
- Save your chat logs or screenshots if possible.
- Write down the version of the tool you used (e.g., ChatGPT, July 2025).
- Don’t rely on memory — write it down at the time.
