Why this matters

“I know they’re using AI. But I don’t know how to prove it or what I’m allowed to do.”
– Mrs Benjamin, High School English Teacher, Western Cape

AI is already in your classroom.
According to the latest research, 64% of academic misconduct cases now involve generative AI, and educators are being left to navigate this without clear tools, policies, or backup.

This course closes the gap.

What happens if we ignore it?

  1. Students learn to evade, not engage
  2. False accusations destroy trust
  3. Staff act inconsistently or avoid the issue altogether
  4. Parent complaints escalate to governing bodies and the media
  5. Your school’s reputation—and culture—take the hit

Who this course is for

  • Teachers who need to know what’s okay—and what to do
  • Principals and HoDs who need consistent guidance across teams
  • Governing Body members writing policy from scratch

Tailored tools for every role.

A message from Nathan-Ross Adams

“This course began with a teacher’s plea: We’re scared to get it wrong.
We built it so you can get it right—ethically, practically, and without fear.”

Our why

We believe:

  • Every learner deserves fairness and dignity
  • Every educator deserves tools, not guesswork
  • Academic integrity is a design challenge, not a discipline problem
  • You don’t have to fight this alone or rewrite policy from scratch.
