Additional Material
Purpose
For ready-to-use sources and expected answers, start with the learner practice pack. It supplies three five-minute tasks with a fictional study extract, an authored AI-style response, prompt revision and an AI use record. The Extra Exercises give longer extension options.
Use this page for optional additions when you have extra time, a more confident cohort, or a strong local example to work with. The best extensions still deepen judgement rather than simply adding more AI content.
Optional Extensions by Theme
How AI changes research work
- Ask groups to map where AI reduces effort and where it removes natural pauses for reflection.
- Compare a research task completed manually, with AI support, and with over-reliance on AI.
- Use a short case where speed improves output quantity but weakens checking discipline.
Documentation and workflows
- Show a lightweight AI use note and ask what is missing.
- Workflow design activity: where should AI help, where should it stop, and where should documentation happen?
- Compare a sensible narrow agent idea with one that automates the wrong kind of judgement.
Optional Demonstrations
- Demonstrate how a stronger prompt improves usefulness more than a role prompt alone.
- Show how AI output changes when you move from “answer from memory” to “use only this source”.
- Walk through a simple policy-checking workflow from source to summary to manual validation.
Useful Artefacts to Prepare
If you want richer discussion, bring one or more of the following:
- a weak and strong prompt pair
- an AI-generated summary with missing caveats
- a short example of an AI use note or disclosure paragraph
Extension Design Principle
If time is limited, choose one richer case study with a strong debrief over several disconnected mini-tasks. In AI teaching, depth usually beats breadth.
Guidance to Recheck Before Delivery
Use the primary guidance table to revisit university, funder, publisher and research-integrity guidance. Record the sources you checked in the session plan. Discuss differences between roles and contexts rather than turning one organisation’s rule into a universal claim.
