This course is intended for university educators. It helps educators prepare for the new era of artificial intelligence, particularly in relation to assessment design. If you are a professor or other educator, you will learn how to redesign your assessments for the age of Chat GPT. You will connect with ideas from other academics worldwide, whose brilliant ideas and research are bringing our assessments into a new age of authenticity, validity and fairness. 

The course will help you:

• Understand how AI tools affect academic integrity.

• Understand the limitations of AI detection software

• Identify the features of AI-generated texts

• Identify strategies for reducing the risk of AI-giarism

We will explore in detail an example assignment written by Chat GPT, identifying the telltale features of AI-generated text. We show you what to look for in suspicious texts submitted by students.

We explore case studies of AI-giarism and their detrimental impact on staff-student relations and professional reputations. We look at ways to prevent controversies and ensure smooth running of assessments.

We look at ways to improve assessments through enhancing their formats, multimodality and demands for critical thinking.

We dedicate this course to university students everywhere, who deserve that their hard work be assessed in a fair and effective way.
