Mike Perkins and Jasper Roe share a practical framework for ethical AI integration in assessment on episode 569 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast

It’s been over 12 months since the first blog post about the AI Assessment Scale, and a lot has changed, both with the technology and with our understandings of how it impacts assessments in K-12 and higher education across a range of disciplines. The AIAS has been adopted by schools and universities worldwide, and will […]

AI systems are no longer just specialized research tools: they’re everyday academic companions. As AIs integrate more deeply into educational environments, we need to consider important questions about learning, assessment, and skill development. Until now, most discussions have relied on surveys and controlled experiments rather than direct evidence of how students naturally integrate AI into their academic work in real settings.

The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) requires innovative educational environments to leverage this technology effectively to address concerns like academic integrity, plagiarism, and others. Additionally, higher education needs effective pedagogies to achieve intended learning outcomes. This emphasizes the need to redesign active learning experiences in the GenAI era. Authentic assessment and experiential learning are two possible meaningful alternatives in this context. Accordingly, this article investigates how GenAI can enhance teaching and learning by constructively addressing study situations beyond conventional learning approaches and cultivating high-order skills and knowledge acquisition. This study employs thing ethnography to examine GenAI tools’ integration with authentic assessment and experiential learning and explore implementation alternatives. The results reveal insights into creating human-centered and GenAI-enhanced learning experiences within a constructive alignment. Specific examples are also provided to guide their implementation. Our contributions extend beyond the traditional use of GenAI tools as mere agents-to-write or agents-to-answer questions to become agents-to-support experiential learning for authentic assessment. These findings underscore the transformative role of GenAI tools in enhancing teaching and learning efficacy and effectiveness. The limitations in treating GenAI tools as subjects in thing ethnography are acknowledged, with potential for future implementation evaluation.

Students, faculty, and staff need to understand the fundamentals of AI to able to effectively use AI tools and evaluate the outputs.

What is ChatGPT and what might it mean for higher education? In this special Future Trends Forum session we'll collectively explore this new technology. How does the chatbot work? How might it reshape academic writing? Does it herald an age of AI transforming society, or is it really BS? Experts who joined us on stage includes Brent A. Anders, Rob Fentress, Philip Lingard, John Warner, Jess Stahl, and Anne Fensie. https://bryanalexander.org/future-of-education/resources-for-exploring-chatgpt-and-higher-education/ ///// The Future Trends Forum is a weekly discussion event created and hosted by Bryan Alexander. Since 2016 we have addressed the most powerful forces of change in academia. Each week, this video chat brings together practitioners in the field to share their most recent work and experience in education and technology. The intent of the Forum: to advance the discussion around the pressing issues at the crossroads of education and technology. http://forum.futureofeducation.us/ https://bryanalexander.org/ This event is powered by Shindig, the video chat event provider. On Shindig, audiences all can see one another and engage in private video chats sharing and discussing the content of the presentation. Event hosts may also bring selected audience members to the stage to ask questions or otherwise interact with guest speakers. Shindig; the dynamics of in person events, online.
