About the Session

This FLO MicroCourse uses a design sprint approach to help educators redesign a single assessment into AI-resilient versions. Here, AI-resilient means assessments structured so students cannot fully outsource the work to GenAI without engaging in critical thinking, decision-making, and authentic learning. The MicroCourse follows a five-step sprint approach: understand & empathize, define & frame, ideate & create, prototype & refine, and rest & pitch. Participants will apply spring methods such as “build to think” prototyping, and structured peer-reviewed testing.

Over five days, educators will complete guided asynchronous sprint work, supported by two synchronous sessions designed to build community, strengthen collaboration, and facilitate open peer feedback.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Identify AI-related vulnerabilities in assessment tasks and clarify the learning outcomes the assessments are intended to measure. Apply sprint methods to ground assessment decisions in learner needs and real-world learning contexts.
• Generate and prioritize multiple redesign options that support meaningful learning.
• Prototype an AI-resilient assessment and refine it through structured, constructive peer feedback.
• Publish the redesigned assessment as an OER contribution to an AI-resilient assessment bank that supports teaching and learning.

What to expect

This is not an “off the side of your desk” learning opportunity. To get the most out of this learning experience, we recommend participants dedicate at least six to eight hours over the week. Participants should come prepared with one assessment (or a set of course assessment activities) to redesign. The sprint model requires iterative work, collaboration, and active participation in giving and receiving peer feedback.

While most of the learning will happen asynchronously, we are offering two optional synchronous sessions:

• Monday, April 27, 2026, 2:00–3:30 p.m.
• Wednesday, April 29, 2026, 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m.

Registration Coming Soon

This session will be recorded, archived, and shared with course registrants.
