SICSA Education Seminar: Gen AI’s impact on assessment design – Are we in Lane?

This event has passed but you can view the recording on YouTube.

Our October Education Seminar will be hosted at Abertay University and we are happy to welcome our speakers Jack Hogan and Kerith George-Briant, who are both based at Abertay University. 

Jack Hogan works within the Abertay Learning Enhancement (AbLE) Academy as a Lecturer in Academic Practice. His research interests include student transitions and the first-year experience, microcredentials, skills development and employability.

Kerith George-Briant manages the Learner Development Service at Abertay. Her key interests are in building best practice in using AI, inclusivity, and accessibility.

'As the expectation that graduates will be AI literate is increasing, the role of AI in assessment is coming under scrutiny. At Abertay University, we explored how GenAI is being integrated into disciplinary assessments (including Computing), drawing on eight semi-structured interviews with academic staff. These interviews revealed that a complex interplay of student needs, stakeholder expectations, and disciplinary definitions of criticality and the development of AI tools are all influencing decisions around GenAI use. We suggest that a one-size-fits-all solution to assessment design is not possible but with further refinement, to better reflect the realities of Scottish Higher Education, Liu and Bridgeman’s (2023) two-lane approach to AI in assessment offers us a framework to work from. We look forward to sharing and shaping our ideas on this important topic with you.'

Any staff or students from SICSA Universities are welcome to join us either in-person or online. 

The online Teams link will be sent out nearer to the date of the event.
