About

About Teaching and Learning with CIVICA

This is a shared, open platform for teaching and learning resources developed jointly by the CIVICA partners. It serves two audiences: students/researchers and academic staff.

For contributors

Contributor guide

We welcome contributions from colleagues at any partner institution who would like to share resources they have developed or develop new ones in collaboration with us. This guide explains how to contribute and what we ask of every resource we publish.

What kinds of resources we host

We host teaching and learning experiences, specifically interactive HTML files, videos, and podcasts. You are also free to send us static materials, and we can support you in adapting them to a more interactive format.

Quality, sources, and the use of AI

  • Cite your sources: where a resource makes substantive claims about pedagogy, policy, or research practice, cite the source. Distinguish clearly between established practice, institutional preference, and opinion.
  • Use authoritative, current sources: link to primary sources where possible, and check that links work at submission and again at each review.
  • Acknowledge the use of AI tools: if you have used generative AI substantially in producing the resource for drafting, summarising, generating examples, or producing visual or audio content, please disclose this in a brief acknowledgement at the end of the resource. Substantial use means more than incidental editing or proofreading. Contributors are responsible for verifying every factual claim, citation, and example, regardless of whether AI was used to produce it. Editorial responsibility for the resource rests with the contributor, not with the tool.

Metadata

  • Author: named person or pair responsible for the resource.
  • Institutions: the institution(s) the author(s) are affiliated with.
  • Date: the date the resource was created.
  • Bio page of the Author: a link to the author's profile in the contributors directory.
  • Keywords: three to five search terms specific to the content.

Diligence Statement

In developing the content for Teaching and Learning with CIVICA, we used Anthropic's Claude models to support text creation and refinement. All AI-generated content was reviewed, edited, and curated by the human co-authors to ensure that the final material reflects our understanding, expertise, and intended meaning. We retain full responsibility for the content, its accuracy, and its presentation. This statement acknowledges the role of AI in our creative and editorial process and reflects our commitment to transparency and responsible use.
