Revised AI guidelines with a mandatory learning analytics regulation

The institution updated its AI guidelines in April 2025 and its recommendations for action in July 2025, both advisory in character, while an overarching AI strategy and guidelines for AI in examinations were under development. Alongside them the university maintains a mandatory internal regulation of learning analytics to ensure data privacy, which is the one binding instrument in the set.

Source trail

The source on which this record rests, the place in the document and the sentence found there. Quotations are searched for mechanically in the source file and the page on which they were located is recorded.

  1. There is also a mandatory internal Regulation of Learning Analytics to ensure data privacy.

    The word "mandatory" separates this instrument from the advisory guidelines listed beside it, which is the point the record turns on.

Evidence

The reported evidence on the effect of the practice. Evidentiary strength varies between practices; it is reproduced here as the source reports it.

The institution distinguishes the advisory documents from the mandatory regulation in the same entry, which is what allows the contrast to be recorded rather than inferred.
