Our Commitment to Academic Integrity

At Rightal Learn, we are committed to supporting ethical learning practices and maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity. Our AI tutoring services are designed to enhance your understanding and learning, not to replace your own academic work.

We believe that true learning comes from understanding concepts, practicing skills, and engaging with material in a meaningful way. Our platform is built to support these goals while respecting the academic policies of educational institutions worldwide.

What is Academic Integrity?

Important Considerations

Know Your Institution's Policies

Different educational institutions have varying policies regarding AI assistance. Always check with your school's academic integrity guidelines and ask your instructors about their specific policies regarding AI tools.

Disclosure and Transparency

When in doubt, disclose your use of AI assistance to your instructors. Transparency about your learning process demonstrates academic integrity and helps maintain trust with your educators.

Learning vs. Completion

Focus on using AI to enhance your learning rather than simply completing tasks. The goal is to understand concepts and develop skills, not just to finish assignments.

Best Practices for Ethical AI Use

  • Start with your own effort: Attempt problems yourself before seeking AI assistance
  • Use AI as a tutor: Ask for explanations and guidance rather than direct answers
  • Verify and understand: Don't accept AI responses without understanding them
  • Practice independently: Regularly test your knowledge without AI assistance
  • Cite when appropriate: If you use AI-generated ideas, cite them according to your institution's guidelines
  • Respect boundaries: Follow your course's specific rules about AI use
  • Maintain academic skills: Don't become overly dependent on AI assistance

Consequences of Misuse

Inappropriate use of AI tools can result in serious academic consequences:

  • Failing grades on assignments or courses
  • Academic probation or suspension
  • Permanent notation on academic records
  • Loss of scholarships or academic honors
  • Damage to relationships with instructors and peers
  • Expulsion from educational institutions

Additionally, Rightal Learn reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that are used in violation of academic integrity principles.

If you become aware of academic integrity violations involving our platform, please report them to:

  • Your educational institution's academic integrity office

Our goal is to support your academic success through ethical means. We encourage you to:

  • Use our platform as a learning tool, not a shortcut
  • Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills
  • Build genuine understanding of your coursework
  • Maintain academic integrity in all your studies
