Summary

The document discusses the impact of generative artificial intelligence on higher education, focusing on the challenges and opportunities in assessment practices. It highlights the existing expertise in designing assessments for a digital world and provides guidance on how educational institutions can adapt to AI advancements. The document is especially relevant in the context of Australian education policy and governance, informing stakeholders on managing AI-related risks while harnessing its potential to transform learning. Although it doesn't directly address catastrophic AI risks, it underscores the need for updated educational frameworks in response to AI-driven transformations.

Body

Assessment reform for the age of artificial intelligenceThe emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI), while creating new possibilities for learning and teaching, has exacerbated existing assessment challenges within higher education. However, there is considerable expertise, based on evidence, theory and practice, about how to design assessment for a digital world, which includes artificial intelligence. AI is not new, after all, even if the current iterations of generative AI are. This document, constructed through expert collaboration, draws on this body of knowledge and outlines directions for the future of assessment. It seeks to provide guidance for the sector on ways assessment practices can take advantage of the opportunities, and manage the risks, of AI, specifically generative AI.DownloadAssessment reform for the age of artificial intelligence(PDF, 211 KB)Related linksGen AI knowledge hubEnacting assessment reform in a time of artificial intelligence23 November 2023
