Code: M1

Decide whether to use AI systems based on the nature of the task.

Descriptors

Basic

What you learn at this level

  • Learners identify a variety of AI systems and the tasks they are designed to support.

  • Learners follow guidance established by their teacher to match appropriate tools with academic tasks (e.g. AI for summarising, search engines for research).

Intermediate

What you learn at this level

  • Learners use what they know about AI to determine whether AI is an appropriate digital tool for a specific task.

  • As the teacher calls out examples of everyday tasks for the whole class, learners move to corners of the room labelled “AI Only,” “AI-Supported,” “Human Only,” or “Not Sure” based on how they think AI could be used. Learners then defend and explain their choices to peers who had chosen differently and switch corners if convinced.

Advanced

What you learn at this level

  • Learners determine whether AI is the right digital tool for a specific task by comparing the task’s complexity and need for human judgement with the ethical implications of AI use.

  • Learners consider the steps to write an essay (i.e. choosing a topic, researching evidence, organising arguments, drafting paragraphs, revising and proof-reading), then identify which steps AI could assist with and which steps require their own voice and reasoning. They consult their school’s guidelines for AI use to tailor their approach.
