A6 By allowing choice in the spectrum of assessment design. Whether it’s a traffic light or 2 lane approach or… and these should be overarching with integrity in mind. Moderation & standardisation should be mandatory for reliability.

A3 Open and regular dialogue. Sharing ai tool updates and encouraging s’s to share also. Utter clarity with assessments - or - let s’s choose what they use as long as it’s within guidelines and ensures academic integrity. Require disclosure - in a positive rather than punitive frame. #LTHEchat

And I forgot #LTHEchat

A2 I subscribe to the UOSydney 2 lane idea - although even closed exams now challenged by smart glasses 🤦🏻‍♀️. I like that it embraces insecurity as both real and a route for A4L. Validity for me means detailing granular process in design & providing rationale for which bits should/n’t involve ai.

Q2 What does a valid and secure assessment look like in your area of interest right now?
Reply with A2 #LTHEChat and your response

A1 I think that depends on having chunked the assessment process and having decided which bits need to be human, synthetic or hybrid knowledges

Q1 How does GenAI prompt us to re-examine what “valued forms of knowledge” look like in areas you teach or support students in?
Reply with A1 #LTHEChat and your response

A1 It’s taken us back to basics. Fundamentals - what is knowledge? What is learning? What is education? I like the way it makes us narrow what is /isn’t so meaningful. #LTHEchat

There really is a new geopolitics of higher education with respect to AI.

It maps pretty neatly onto which countries prioritise STEM vs. Social Science/Humanities.

Watch South Korea. It's the country that appears to be sitting right on top of the fault line.

As the analysis starts of the Gorton and Denton result, I wanted to flag some aspects that my experience yesterday suggests are being over or under-played

(Caveats - I went to Longsight, Gorton and Denton town centres and spoke to as many people as I could, but it was mostly during the working day)

‘Study after study shows that students want to develop these critical thinking skills, are not lazy, and large numbers of them would be in favor of banning ChatGPT and similar tools in universities’, says @olivia.science

More Strategies for Avoiding AI — UVA Center for Teaching Excellence More UVA faculty share their strategies for directing students away from the use of AI in course assignments and activities.

We hosted a second "Avoiding AI" panel earlier this month. It featured three faculty sharing their strategies for keeping AI (mostly) out of their courses. Here's my recap of the event: cte.virginia.edu/news/more-st...
