PETRA AI: Towards Permissive and Transparent Use of Generative AI in Education

Abstract

Assessment in the era of Generative AI presents two challenges – how teachers can effectively share specific permitted GenAI use for a task, and how students may share with their instructors how they have used it. Previous models of GenAI integration into assessment generally exist on a vague spectrum, with little specificity. PETRA AI (PErmissive and TRAnsparent) is a single-page web application that addresses these challenges by providing teachers a way to permit specific and fine-grained use of GenAI for an assessment task in the form of a digital badge, while also allowing students to share how they used AI for a task to ensure compliance and transparency.
