Students aren't the problem.
Silence is.

Set up an AI policy in under five minutes. Students disclose in under three. No accounts, no logins, no learning curve — just clarity and trust.

I'm an Instructor I'm a Student

Three strategies. Only one works.

Most institutions fall into predictable patterns. Here's why none of them scale — except one.

🚫

"Ban everything"

Unenforceable, damages trust, and pushes use underground. Students learn to hide rather than reflect. The detection arms race has no winner.

Fails at scale
🤷

"Allow everything"

Abandons integrity and learning goals. Without boundaries, students can't develop the metacognitive skills that matter. Good intentions, no structure.

"Define it. Disclose it. Trust it."

Clear policies. Honest disclosures. There is a whole legitimate spectrum between No AI and Full AI — the AI Assessment Scale maps it. This tool makes it actionable.

What this tool enables

Three simple steps. Five minutes total.

No accounts to create, no software to install. From first click to student link — the whole setup takes minutes.

1

Instructor sets the policy

Choose from 15 categories across four levels of AI use — just click the rating for each. A live preview shows exactly what students will see. Most instructors finish in under five minutes.

2

Students get a single link

Drop the link into your LMS, email, or assignment instructions — that's it. No sign-ups, no passwords. Students review the policy, answer a quick comprehension check, and they're ready to start.

3

Disclose and download — done

After the assignment, students return, check the boxes that apply, and download a professional PDF disclosure in under three minutes. No accounts, no waiting — transparent, honest, done.

The 15-category checklist

Structured around the AI Assessment Scale (Furze, Perkins et al.). Every item maps to a real classroom decision. Here's what an example policy looks like:

AI Planning

Using AI to begin or plan work

Ideation / Brainstorming Use Freely
Concept Explanation / Understanding Permitted
Outlining / Structuring Work Permitted
Finding Evidence / Research Discouraged

AI Assistance

Using AI for supportive tasks

Editing or Proofreading Use Freely
Citation Formatting Permitted
Fact Checking Permitted
Summarizing Discouraged

AI Collaboration

Using AI to transform content

Paraphrasing / Rewriting Text Discouraged
Translation Permitted
Code Debugging / Explanation Use Freely

AI Generation

Using AI to produce content

Drafting Text Discouraged
Generating Code or Formulas Discouraged
Image Generation N/A
Humanizing Text Discouraged
Transparency builds more trust than surveillance.
Students who understand a policy follow it.
Disclosure is not a confession. It’s professional practice.
The goal is not to catch students. It’s to help them learn.

Built for both sides of the classroom.

📊

AI Assessment Scale

The taxonomic backbone. A research-validated framework (Furze, 2023; Perkins et al., 2024) that maps the full spectrum of AI use — from no AI to full AI creation.

🤝

Restorative Integrity

The philosophical framework. Repair harm rather than deliver punishment. Students who understand a policy act more transparently than students who fear one.
