As AI tools become increasingly common in OER creation, the question is no longer whether authors use them — it's how to disclose that use honestly and transparently.
The KPU AI Declaration Framework for OER Creation takes a human-centred approach, asking not "what did AI do?" but "what was the relationship between the author and AI?" The framework adapts Kari D. Weaver's AID Framework for OER contexts, identifying ten categories of activity relevant to publishing projects. It incorporates the Me & My Machine labels — adapted for a North American context — to capture the spectrum from fully independent human creation to AI-generated content, making human effort and creative direction visible even where AI plays a significant role.
A self-assessment rubric, interactive rubric tool, and Pressbooks front matter template support authors in building their own declaration statement. While developed for OER, the framework applies to any resource creation project.
Attendees of this session will be able to:- Describe the KPU AI Declaration Framework for OER Creation — including its categories, label system, and self-assessment rubric —and identify how it differs from existing approaches to AI disclosure.
- Determine whether and how a human-centred approach to AI disclosure might be implemented in their own institutional or publishing context.
