Build a short, student-facing integrity declaration - covering original work, proper citation and your rules on AI use - that learners read and acknowledge when they submit. Toggle the clauses you need, add a signature line, and the tool assembles clear, supportive wording for you to copy.

Built by Learnaway

Ask for honesty up front - and support it with real evidence.

Learnaway reads the writing process (paste behaviour, typing rhythm, timing) to surface homework that may warrant a conversation. Signals for teachers, never verdicts.

  • Reads the writing process - paste, typing rhythm, timing - not the prose.
  • Timing metadata only. No keylogger; never the characters a student types.
  • Signals to start a fair conversation - never a verdict.

Why a declaration changes behaviour

Asking students to actively affirm that work is their own - at the moment they submit - is a well-evidenced nudge toward honesty. It reframes integrity as a shared expectation the student agrees to, rather than a rule imposed and policed after the fact.

This generator keeps the tone supportive, not threatening. A declaration should set a standard and invite students to meet it, which is more effective than language that treats every learner as a suspect.

What to include

Most declarations confirm three things: the work is the student's own, all sources are properly credited, and any permitted use of AI has been disclosed in line with your policy. You can toggle each clause to match the task.

Generate your AI rules with the AI Use Policy Generator first, then reference them here so the declaration and the policy say the same thing.

Frequently asked questions

What is an academic integrity statement?
A short declaration a student reads and agrees to on submission, confirming the work is their own, sources are credited, and any AI use follows the stated policy.
Does a declaration prevent misconduct?
No single measure does, but actively affirming honesty at submission measurably reduces it and makes expectations explicit, which supports any later conversation.
Is the wording accusatory?
No. The tool is written to set a clear standard in supportive language - it asks students to confirm good practice, not to defend themselves.
Can younger students use it?
Yes. Keep the clauses simple and the context line clear; the default wording is readable for secondary-age students and can be simplified further.
