Question 1

Do we need an AI policy before we let students use AI?

Accepted Answer

You need one eventually, and Cognity makes it easier to write a policy people can actually follow, because the rules are enforced in the tool rather than in a document. A school can start with a department pilot and use the process records from it to write a policy grounded in what students actually did, instead of guessing in advance.

Question 2

How do we roll AI out across a school without losing control of it?

Accepted Answer

Cognity keeps the same record whether one teacher or every department is using it. Admins set what students can access, teachers set the coaching rules per task, and every AI interaction stays reviewable — so expanding usage does not mean expanding the number of places you cannot see.

Question 3

How do we know whether AI is actually helping students learn?

Accepted Answer

Compare the process, not the grades. Cognity shows how much of a submission is the student's own wording, where in the task AI was used, and whether students challenged what the AI told them — figures that move over a term and can be read per class, not just per student.

Question 4

What do we tell parents about AI use in class?

Accepted Answer

That every AI conversation is recorded and can be shown to them. A parent who asks what their child did with AI can be shown the actual exchange: what was asked, what the AI declined to do, and what the student wrote themselves.

Question 5

Does Cognity detect AI writing?

Accepted Answer

No. Cognity does not score text with a detector and does not guess whether writing is AI-generated. Cognity records the process instead: every prompt a student sent, every AI response, every revision and every decision, in order. Teachers read what actually happened rather than a probability score.

Question 6

Does Cognity work with the systems we already run?

Accepted Answer

Yes. LTI 1.3 works on every plan, Google Classroom roster sync is included from Pro, and School adds SSO and an admin dashboard, so tasks and results move into the tools staff already use.
