How do I submit projects for moderation?

What are the guidelines on the use of AI?
AI usage should be treated using the same approach that applies to use by students of other research sources in projects. Source use should be referenced and the student should not submit work from another source as if it was their own. Students and teachers are expected to sign the form which states that the project is the student’s own work. A conversation between the teacher and the student may be appropriate as a way of checking, should questions arise about the extent to which the work submitted is in fact the student’s own, either because of assistance from the third party or use of an AI writing tool. If a project does contain material which is not the student’s own, and it is not clearly cited or identified as being from other sources, the project should not be submitted as it stands though the school may choose to allow the student to re-work the project so that both teacher and student can confirm it is the student’s own work.
I’m interested in running the certificate in future academic years, how do I do this?
After careful consideration, NU London will be pausing delivery of the certificate for the 2024/25 academic year for an internal review. We remain committed to supporting the current cohort of schools and students enrolled in the certificate in the 2023/24 academic year but we will not currently be taking registrations for future years. We will provide any updates as soon as we are able to.
