Including audience participation through interactive polls and discussion.

The advent and growth of AI presents new challenges and opportunities for assessment of learning in higher education. The ability to generate original text and other outputs (art, computer code, etc) from simple input prompts challenge how we understand many forms of assessment (for example essays) to represent students’ learning and knowledge. At the same time, this technology is likely to be present in the environments in which students will work, may enable some students to better express their learning, and can be seen as continuation of other technologies that assist writing and knowledge management. This panel will explore ethical positions on how these developments should relate to assessment practice.
