In-Person Workshop: Rethinking Assessment in the Time of GenAI

About the Event

Generative AI is transforming how students learn and produce work, raising urgent questions about how we design meaningful and fair assessments. Join us for this in-person workshop at Camosun College to explore alternative approaches moving beyond simply “catching” AI use, and focusing on fostering critical, authentic, and reflective learning.

We’ll revisit the three purposes of assessment (of, for, and as learning) to examine how each is disrupted and reimagined by GenAI. Participants will explore practical frameworks as potential guides for creating meaningful assessments. We’ll conclude by crowdsourcing alternative assessment ideas that meaningfully and equitably integrate GenAI.

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

  • Differentiate between assessment of, for, and as learning, in the context of GenAI
  • Explore different frameworks to evaluate and redesign assessment tasks
  • Generate alternative assessment ideas relevant to their own teaching contexts

We encourage you to bring an example of an assessment from a course you may wish to refine or redesign.

We would like to thank Camosun College for their partnership in bringing this workshop to B.C. post-secondary educators.
