Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are likely to be an integral part of your future life and work. RMIT is committed to preparing our students to know how to engage and work appropriately with AI.

During your studies at RMIT, you will need to know how and when to use AI tools without compromising your academic integrity.

Here are some useful links to help:
- A new Library guide for referencing AI tools to include common reference styles used at RMIT. This guide is available to all students and provides clear guidance on how to correctly attribute and reference AI-generated content.

- The Academic Integrity Awareness micro-credential has been updated to include the correct attribution of AI content.

- The referencing product EasyCite is in the process of being updated

- The referencing materials on the Learning Lab (to complement the updates in Easy Cite and Subject guides) will be updated (available from 13 March) to better suit current delivery and student needs. These resources are more inclusive of assessment types other than written assessment.

Peer mentoring is a free online service for RMIT students, peer mentors are students who have already completed this course and can share some advice on how to get started with assignments, how to study for this course and how to get great grades.  You can connect with a peer mentor online, or you can meet on campus, it's totally up to you and it's all arranged through the Vygo mentoring platform (rmit.vygo.app, or download from your app store)

This is how you can connect via the webapp (for the mobile app, download it from your app store)

·       Go to rmit.vygo.app

·       Log in with SSO (that’s your RMIT ID and password)

·       Select Programs

·       Select All Programs

·       Choose Peer Mentoring for (your subject area)

·       Select Join Program and add your courses

·       Browse through the mentors and send them a message!

What do students say about the peer mentors?  Lots of amazing things such as ……

“’Mentor’ has been a friendly and supportive mentor for me in navigating complex assignments. She takes the time to listen to your ideas and guides them in insightful ways (I booked 30 minutes but talked for an hour!). Having ‘Mentor’ as a mentor has been incredibly valuable, I highly recommend her.

“’My mentor was super helpful! Broke down every little detail in simple terms and took the time and care to ensure that I knew what it was he was explaining before continuing, whilst also being pretty dope to talk to! Definitely made me feel a lot better about myself for the assignment and will 100% be asking for his guidance again.”

"Thank you so much for being such a good mentor. I got HD grade in two courses out of three. All bcz uh helped me to reach the goal and made me understand what they were asking. Thanks for your help…"

For more information about the service, check out our webpage https://www.rmit.edu.au/students/support-services/study-support/peer-mentoring.  If you can't find what you're looking for, get in touch with the team at peer.mentoring@rmit.edu.edu

Interested in building your skills, consolidating your knowledge and gaining more confidence?

If you’re interested in developing your communication and leadership skills, becoming a peer mentor may be an amazing option for you!  Look out for an invitation from the peer mentoring team but first connect with a mentor in Vygo rmit.vygo.app to see how it works 😊

Free weekly mindfulness meditation for all RMIT staff and students

# data[].attributes.body
Mindfulness is just about being fully present, as opposed to being lost in thought—the usual state for most of us. While it can be practiced doing any activity, meditation provides a dedicated window for actively practicing mindfulness. Regular meditation has been shown to have many benefits including stress reduction and a greater ability to focus.

Meditation sessions run throughout 2023 on Mondays from 11-12pm in Building 46. Come up down the stairs and follow the passage to the end. Please take off your shoes before entering the room.

It's also possible to join the sessions remotely via Teams and meditate with us from home. Sessions are free and all RMIT staff and students are welcome. They include a guided meditation and sitting in silence, and are appropriate for those who have never meditated before. Please contact Ascelin Gordon on ascelin.gordon@rmit.edu.au before attending.

RMIT Links:

Attending live

Sessions are held in building 46. When you enter, go down the stairs and follow the corridor to the end. Please remove your shoes before entering the Room

Attending online

Teams will run on your phone, laptop or tablet. A laptop will likely give you the best experience as the larger screen will allow you to more clearly see the other participants. However, any device will be fine.

At the time of the session, find a comfortable and quiet place to sit either at home or where you can, prop your phone/tablet/laptop somewhere such the screen and camera is pointing towards you.

Ideally, it's good to sit on a meditation cushion without back support, but sitting on a chair is also fine, especially if you have any back issues. I prefer participants to be sitting upright rather than lying down.

Click on the link to join the meeting in teams

Adjust your device so your face is visible

Unless you have issues with your internet connection, please leave your camera on throughout the meditation

What do students say about the peer mentors?  Lots of amazing things such as ……

“’Mentor’ has been a friendly and supportive mentor for me in navigating complex assignments. She takes the time to listen to your ideas and guides them in insightful ways (I booked 30 minutes but talked for an hour!). Having ‘Mentor’ as a mentor has been incredibly valuable, I highly recommend her.

“’Mentor was super helpful! Broke down every little detail in simple terms and took the time and care to ensure that I knew what it was he was explaining before continuing, whilst also being pretty dope to talk to! Definitely made me feel a lot better about myself for the assignment and will 100% be asking for his guidance again.”

Interested in building your skills consolidating your knowledge and gaining more confidence?

If you’re interested in developing your communication and leadership skills, becoming a peer mentor may be an amazing option for you!  Look out for an invitation from the peer mentoring team but first connect with a mentor in Vygo to see how it works 😊

This is a special invitation to get involved in the Student Staff Consultative Committee (SSCC) program, where students are invited to enhance their own learning experiences through the collection and discussion of student feedback.

The SSCC invites students to represent their peers to their program’s academic staff and discuss how their courses are taught and managed. Students can develop their networking skills through the SSCC meetings which happen twice a semester, and therefore become more employable for their future careers.

Make the most out of your university experience and represent your peers by signing up for SSCC now!
