Frequently asked questions.

It can – if it's used to hand over the hard part. The evidence shows unrestricted AI during practice often lifts immediate results while harming what students retain. The answer is task design, not surveillance: keep the effortful thinking with the student. Our professional learning is built around exactly this.

No. Detectors are unreliable in both directions and disproportionately flag non-native and neurodivergent writers – several major providers withdrew their own tools. We help schools move to process evidence and assessment redesign instead – it's a core part of our professional learning.

Start from purpose and principles, not a blanket ban. We help schools and trusts build workable, evidence-informed policy through consulting and professional learning, drawing on frameworks like TeachAI.

Both – single courses for one teacher, structured sequences for a faculty, and whole-staff programs or consulting for a school, network, or system. See professional learning or get in touch.

We're based on Dharug Country in Western Sydney, and our examples are grounded in the Australian context – the national Framework for Generative AI in Schools, ACARA and state authorities like NESA, and the eSafety Commissioner. The principles are international and the research we draw on is global, so we adapt readily – tell us your state and sector and we'll tailor it.

It depends entirely on what your school allows and how you use it. Using AI to understand a topic is very different from having it write your essay. When in doubt: ask, declare how you used it, and keep the thinking yours.

It genuinely helps – if you use it to get unstuck, test yourself, and explain ideas back. Studies show outsourcing the hard part boosts your marks now but hurts what you can do without it later.

AI “detectors” are unreliable and wrongly flag plenty of real work, so that's the wrong thing to worry about. Being open about how you used it is far smarter – and a skill in itself.

Our workshops are designed for secondary and older students, and run for schools, groups, and societies. Tell us your year group and we'll fit the session.

No – our glossaries, guides, and reading lists are free. Browse the library.

With one or two real problems – not a shopping list of tools. We help you find the highest-value, lowest-risk use cases first, then build capability from there. Talk to us about your setting.

It depends on the tool and how it's configured – a consumer chatbot and a governed enterprise deployment are very different. Deciding what goes in, who's accountable, and what's logged is part of every engagement we run.

Yes – healthcare is a specialism. We focus on safe, compliance-aware adoption across clinical and operational settings, where both the stakes and the upside are highest. See the business page.

Typically a short discovery, a prioritised roadmap, then hands-on delivery and capability-building so it sticks – scoped to your size and goals. Start a conversation.

Yes – team upskilling and leadership programs, set or tailored to your business. Ask us about professional learning for business.

Right here. Start with our plain-English glossary and the resource library, then follow whatever thread interests you. No background needed.

The honest answer is “it depends, and it's already changing some.” The useful move isn't to panic or dismiss it – it's to understand what it's genuinely good and bad at, which is what our resources are for.

They're competing AI assistants from different companies (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google), built on similar underlying technology. The differences are real but shift constantly; our glossary explains the terms behind them.

No – everything in the library is free to read and share.
