Description
This presentation explores how the rise of generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT and Gemini) is reshaping assessment practices in higher education. It highlights the diminishing reliability of traditional assessment formats (e.g., essays and assignments) when students can use AI tools without clear guidelines, raising questions about authenticity and academic integrity.The presenter outlines three main strategies teachers can adopt:
Limiting access – e.g., onsite exams, oral assessments, or closed-book formats.
Redesigning assignments – with focus on interpretation, analysis, and personal engagement.
Integrating AI use – allowing AI-assisted work but requiring critical reflection, transparency, and accountability.
A five-level framework is introduced to classify how AI is used in student work – from strict prohibition to full co-creative collaboration – emphasizing the need for pedagogical clarity and ethical consideration.
The presentation includes practical checklists: what teachers should do (e.g., stepwise evaluation, clear communication, promoting metacognition) and what to avoid (e.g., vague expectations, blind trust in final output).
Finally, participants are invited to reflect and discuss how AI can be responsibly integrated into teaching and assessment, especially in the humanities and social sciences, to support meaningful, future-oriented learning.
