CC BY-NC-SA 2025 New Language Solutions Avenue Learner Standards for Technology-Enhanced Language Learning, version 1.2 8 Administrator Reflection: Are there policies in place to deal withprivacy violations in your program? Instructor Reflection: How can you incorporate the skills of safe browsing and downloading legally into what you teach? What can you do to discourage violations of privacy in an alwaysconnected world? Learner Task: Identify websites and approaches to downloading content legally. Discuss what kind of personal information you would not want to see shared freely online. CAN-DO STATEMENTS FOR LEARNERS ☐ I can set my browser to “safe search” settings and can identify resources that are not legal. ☐ I am aware of others’ privacy when uploading materials online. I know what should and should not be shared online. ☐ I know how to add the author’s information when using downloaded material in my work. PI 2.3. Learners use GenAI tools appropriately. GenAI can be helpful for learners, offering suggestions for brainstorming and outlining and providing feedback. Learners should know how to create effective prompts to meet their needs. Ethical use of GenAI is also a critical skill. GenAI comes with risks, and learners should be aware of these and take steps to avoid them. a. Craft or edit a prompt to achieve the desired output. Prompts are at the heart of GenAI. A well-crafted prompt can produce the desired results quickly. Poorly crafted prompts will lead to the need for several iterations to produce a useful response. Tools are emerging to help craft prompts, but learners need to be able to customize output to meet their specific goals. b. Use GenAI tools for brainstorming and formative assessment. GenAI, such as ChatGPT and similar tools, can help learners who need to brainstorm ideas. Learners can upload their writing for formative assessment, being specific in their prompts about what sort of evaluations they want. They need to be aware that anything they upload may become part of the GenAI’s dataset, so they should not include personal information. c. Follow program guidelines about the legal and ethical use of GenAI tools. Learners should be aware of and follow program guidelines about GenAI. Copyright law related to GenAI creations is evolving, with questions about who owns the source data used by the AI tool and the end result. GenAI results can be incorrect, so learners should be well aware that they cannot trust GenAI “facts.” GenAI image tools can also create very good “deep fakes”—fake images that look like photos or videos of real people. This use can be both illegal and unethical when images are shared. If an assignment is based solely on information from the internet, AI can produce a report based on that information in seconds. Learners need to understand that they need to check the accuracy of the output and cannot simply turn in an AI-generated text as if it is their own.
