Session: Session 3
Room: (B1) Eixample
Presentation Type:Oral Presentation
Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the landscape of higher education, especially when it comes to assessment practices. Various AI-powered tools, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, have become increasingly accessible and popular with students. This has brought instructors to worry about academic integrity as artificial intelligence plagiarism cases have been augmenting rapidly. Higher education institution must adapt to this new reality otherwise, diplomas will no longer have any worth. However, viewing AI as a threat is unproductive and so this presentation will argue that it presents an opportunity to rethink assessment design in meaningful and pedagogically sound ways. During this session, a model will be presented, highlighting how assignment instructions and criteria need to be modified to promote engagement and academic integrity in students while ensuring fairness and maintaining high standards as well as fostering critical thinking in students. The model proposes assessment strategies that embrace AI while prioritizing deep learning, such as process-oriented evaluations, authentic assessments, and multimodal tasks. Recommendations will be offered to participants on how to modify their assessments to ensure that students’ skills and knowledge are evaluated, not AI’s.
