Academic Integrity considerations of AI Large Language Models in the post-pandemic era: ChatGPT and beyond

Open access
Perkins, Mike·2023·Journal of University Teaching and Learning Practice

Abstract

This paper explores the academic integrity considerations of students’ use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools using Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT in formal assessments. We examine the evolution of these tools, and highlight the potential ways that LLMs can support in the education of students in digital writing and beyond, including the teaching of writing and composition, the possibilities of co-creation between humans and AI, supporting EFL learners, and improving Automated Writing Evaluations (AWE). We describe and demonstrate the potential that these tools have in creating original, coherent text that can avoid detection by existing technological methods of detection and trained academic staff alike, demonstrating a major academic integrity concern related to the use of these tools by students. Analysing the various issues related to academic integrity that LLMs raise for both Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and students, we conclude that it is not the student use of any AI tools that defines whether plagiarism or a breach of academic integrity has occurred, but whether any use is made clear by the student. Deciding whether any particular use of LLMs by students can be defined as academic misconduct is determined by the academic integrity policies of any given HEI, which must be updated to consider how these tools will be used in future educational environments.

    The ChatGPT output generated in the paper's demonstration is representative of LLM output generally.

    “As an example of the fluency of the output that can be created using these tools, the two paragraphs of the section above titled: 'The emergence of Large Language Models' were used as an input to ChatGPT.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    LLM-generated text is uniquely created based on the inputs provided.

    “given that the text that is produced by LLMs is uniquely created based on the inputs provided”

    Many advanced DWAs have multiple features available to students which already claim to integrate AI technologies.

  • The paper relies on this without support.

    Write Full is a full-service DWA which has integrated paraphrasing tools that may encourage students to use the work of others as inputs, rather than their own writing.

    “This already appears to be the case in the example of one DWA called Write Full: a full-service DWA which has integrated paraphrasing tools which may encourage students to use the work of others as inputs, rather than their own writing.”

    New large language models will continue to be developed.

    “as new LLMs are developed.”

    HEIs will set future policies governing LLM use.

    “will be determined by the future policies of any given HEI”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-11, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).

A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-11 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).

Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
