Maintaining Ethics in ODeL Teaching and Learning in Higher Education With the Rise of AI
Abstract
The growing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education has created new opportunities for learning but also serious ethical concerns. In Open Distance e-Learning (ODeL), students often depend on digital tools such as ChatGPT, Grammarly, and QuillBot to complete academic tasks. While these tools can improve writing and provide useful support, they also raise questions about honesty, fairness, and equal access to resources. This chapter draws on a review of recent studies, policies, and reports to examine how AI is influencing teaching and learning in ODeL. Key issues include the risk of academic dishonesty, the widening digital divide, and the lack of clear guidance for both students and lecturers. Using ethical theories such as utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics, the chapter highlights the need for stronger policies, training, and assessment methods that encourage responsible use of AI and protect the integrity of higher education.
