Educational and professional context

PrismMO publishes ideas, frameworks, and example materials for use in teaching and assessment of AI-assisted software development. The site does not provide individual teaching, marking, accreditation, or legal advice, and nothing on the site should be taken as a substitute for the policies of an educational institution, awarding body, or employer.

Decisions about how to assess specific students, mark specific work, or apply specific institutional policies remain with the relevant educators and institutions.

PrismMO is practitioner-led, not policy-led. The site offers structures and language that lecturers can adapt, not rules that replace existing assessment criteria.

Third-party links and tools

The site may link to third-party websites, articles, services, or tools. These links are provided for reference. PrismMO does not control third-party content and is not responsible for its accuracy, availability, or the terms under which it is offered.

PrismMO is tool and platform agnostic. Mention of any AI tool, vendor, or product is for illustration and does not imply endorsement.

Availability of the site

PrismMO aims to keep the site available and the published materials accurate. Pages, downloads, and resources may be changed, replaced, or withdrawn at any time without notice. The site may also be unavailable from time to time for maintenance or for reasons outside reasonable control.

Disclaimer

The site and its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. PrismMO makes no warranties, express or implied, about the suitability of the content for any particular purpose, including its fit with a specific course, institution, qualification, or assessment regime.

Users are responsible for judging whether and how to apply the published material in their own context.
