Mandatory metrics

1. Published institutional AI policy or principlesPartially found

Using AI applications: adapting teaching and learning

Body: Shenkar (file titled "Shenkar AI Policy" on Moodle)

Document date: August 2024

An institution-wide guidelines document for teaching staff (course adaptation, transparency, declaration form), stored on Moodle and accessible without a login.

2. Academic integrity and assessment rules that address AIPartially found

Using AI applications: adapting teaching and learning

Document date: August 2024

The document points to a "Declaration form on the use of AI applications" and requires that use be noted in assignments. The disciplinary regulations page loaded as the home page only, and the academic regulations file (October 2025) returned 404, so a mention of AI in the regulations themselves could not be verified.

The same document also serves metric 1.
