CRADLE Seminar Series 2024 #5: Assessment beyond the individual unit/module

Assessment beyond the individual unit/module: What it is, and why it matters more than ever in the age of AI?

Together with collegues from the University of Queensland and Edith Cowen University, CRADLE researchers will unpack the topical questions arising from generative AI and future directions for assessment.

The emergence of generative AI has highlighted existing assessment challenges in higher education and created new problems. These issues are unlikely to be addressed by tweaking individual tasks or revising assessment at a unit/subject level. As is made clear in the guidance outlined in Assessment Reform for the Age of Artificial Intelligence, commissioned and published by TEQSA, a systemic approach to assessment is now essential. However, there is some uncertainty about what this kind of approach is, why it is important, and how it can be achieved. This webinar will explore the what, why and how of these approaches.
