Abstract

These data are from a project which aimed to collect and analyse student attitudes to artificial intelligence (AI) and their own learning and assessment while they are studying with Edinburgh Napier University. AI tools such as ChatGPT make it easier to generate outputs, such as text, which students could use either in whole or part to create work which they submit as their own for assessments. Very little is known about students' attitudes towards these tools - whether they see them as legitimate aids for refining their own work, or a threat to the value of their learning and degrees. In this 'Amnesty' Padlet students could post their comments and thoughts about this issue. They could also read other students' anonymous posts. These posts were the data for the research. This data will be of interest to ENU academic and support staff and a wider HE audience.
