Teaching & Learning Resources
Welcome!
In the College of Science, we pride ourselves on continually striving to provide the very highest standards of education for all our students. To assist our dedicated staff in achieving this goal, we have introduced this repository of teaching and learning information that we hope will assist you in your day-to-day educational duties.
These pages include valuable information, for example, contact details, instructional videos and PDF guides to using Brightspace, plus many other useful resources. Finally, we will also be adding more to the site throughout the upcoming academic year and therefore greatly welcome any further suggestions that you may have for additional content.
We hope you find this site useful.

Guidelines on Use of AI
These are the documents produced by the recent College of Science Working Group on Guidelines on the use of AI as Chaired by Prof. Paul McCabe. They include an overall guide to generative AI, a single document containing the different scales of use of AI in assessment and finally a declaration form to be completed by the students for relevant assessments. These are guidelines only as we await the publication of an official UCD policy on this issue. Thanks to the working group for producing these documents which should prove very useful.
