AI LibGuide: UCT's AI in Education Framework

UCT is committed to providing an enabling environment and systematic approaches to shape and support staff and students in responsible and ethical use of these AI technologies.

Under the direction of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (DVC) for Teaching and Learning, UCT has developed the UCT Framework for AI in Education: Generative and other AI in Teaching, Learning and Assessment.

Initiated in 2024, this process was led by the Online Education Subcommittee (OESC), which has compiled the framework in consultation with institutional stakeholders. The framework was endorsed by the Senate Teaching and Learning Committee in June 2025 and communicated to the UCT community via the DVC desk.

This framework is intended to serve as a centralised reference for responding to AI in teaching and learning and outlines several key purposes:

• To provide practical guidelines on the responsible and effective use of AI in education at UCT;
• To promote AI literacies and ethical use among students and staff;
• To ensure the integrity of assessment in an AI-mediated environment;
• To promote reviewing curricula that accommodates AI technologies appropriate to the discipline; and
• To consider the potential of AI technologies to support innovation in teaching and learning.
