GenAI Decision Tree

This document was created to help instructors apply a principle-based approach to deciding if and how to incorporate generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) into their course design, assessment planning, and instruction. Move through the tree and consider the questions at each node.

Resources, next steps, and a text-based PDF of the diagram are provided at the bottom of this page.

This graphic is a decision tree created by Brock University’s Centre for Pedagogical Innovation. It helps instructors determine their preparedness and how and whether to integrate generative AI (GenAI) in their courses. It begins with the question, “How will GenAI be used in my course?” From there, instructors are guided through a series of questions.
