# Learning provenance: the missing layer in campus AI

> Provenance turns AI-assisted work into evidence of judgment, originality, depth, verification, and growth—not just a polished final draft.

When students use AI, the artifact alone rarely shows how they thought. Learning provenance captures the reasoning path—prompts, revisions, verification—so faculty can coach process, not police tools.

## From surveillance to signal

The goal is visibility into learning quality, not keystroke monitoring. AIQ dimensions translate provenance into a shared language campuses can use for readiness and hiring.
