Designing Assessment for an Age of AI by Prof Phillip DAWSON

Title: Designing Assessment for an Age of AI Date: 2024-05-13 Speaker: Prof Phillip DAWSON, Professor & Co-Director, Centre for Research in Assessment and Digital Learning, ​Deakin University Venue: Zoom @ CUHK "Artificial Intelligence (AI) can produce outputs that satisfy the requirements of some high-stakes assessments across various disciplines, including law, medicine, and engineering. It has driven concerns about a new wave of AI-enabled cheating and questions about the sustainability and authenticity of current assessment practices. This presentation explores how assessment needs to change in the age of AI. It draws upon the presenter's work as one of the leaders of the significant Australian project Assessment reform for a time of artificial intelligence, which the Australian higher education regulator funded. The presentation's primary focus is resolving the tension between preparing students for a world permeated by AI and ensuring the integrity and security of assessment."
