To What Extent Have Your Assessment Practices Changed in Light of AI? by Brett Christie

alchemize — 2025-08-11 23:11:47 UTC

If your assessments are largely the same as before AI, share why. Are there barriers, uncertainties, or a sense that change is not yet needed?

alchemize — 2025-08-11 23:12:15 UTC

Share small tweaks or updates you’ve made to your assessments in response to AI, such as minor changes in instructions, format, or grading.

alchemize — 2025-08-11 23:12:32 UTC

Describe an assessment you have meaningfully redesigned to account for AI. What did you change, and how has it worked?

alchemize — 2025-08-11 23:12:49 UTC

Share an assessment where AI is explicitly part of the task. How do you guide students in using AI ethically and effectively?

alchemize — 2025-08-11 23:13:04 UTC

Share examples of assessments tied closely to real-world problems, professional contexts, or lived experiences.

What assessment changes are you planning or exploring for the near future?

Trying to teach students how to write a prompt to get them the information they need

2025-08-28 16:23:17 UTC

AIAS

2025-08-28 16:23:34 UTC

I am using the AI Assessment scale to be more transparant about how students will be using AI and in what way.

2025-08-28 16:23:35 UTC

Added brainstorming with AI for intro students on a project so they found way more ideas and enjoyed the experience.

Asking students do critique the output that AI spits at them

2025-08-28 16:23:46 UTC

2025-08-28 16:23:48 UTC

My colleagues almost ignore that it exists and see AI as a threat to social work

Community Based Learning

unboundeq — 2025-08-28 16:23:49 UTC

I integrated more community-based learning, so students go out in the community and teach other kids in public schools - so they need to know what they're doing and reflect on it (which AI can't really do for them).

AI in business

2025-08-28 16:23:55 UTC

In business courses we are teaching students how business professionals are using AI

Tutoring Training/Norming activity

2025-08-28 16:24:01 UTC

I have tutors compare human feedback with genAI feedback to consider what the differences are and what is valuable for the student-writer.

Integrating

2025-08-28 16:24:03 UTC

I include how to do things with AI for teachers most often.

alternative assessments

2025-08-28 16:24:09 UTC

I shifted all of my assignments to competency-based activities with reflection on AI integration/documentation.

More in-class experiential learning

unboundeq — 2025-08-28 16:24:17 UTC

Students do a lot of analog activities in class and reflect on them and learn a lot together in conversation

We have been including AI in the ideation process for divergent thinking

2025-08-28 16:24:22 UTC

AI-related SLO

2025-08-28 16:24:29 UTC

i teach a 100-level GE, and i have added "Effectively use AI tools to help meet the student learning outcomes of this class" because i want to teach AI literacy in class

i want my students to learn how to use these tools to help them learn...and when these tools are not good / will not help them

Social work

2025-08-28 16:24:32 UTC

Using custom AI chatbots to simulate real world Interactions.

Teaching them to use prompting and analyze results

2025-08-28 16:24:36 UTC

Strategies for teaching with AI -

connect your analysis to your own lived experience
draw on your personal history as well as on your aspirations
reflect on how this issue/topic makes your feel
given the assumption that you will have used AI, what would you critique about its response and how could your improve it?
what questions does it bring up for you and why are they meaningful to you?
do you see any aspects of “fractal ontology” in the topic; how does it connect with your world?

An AI assignment

2025-08-28 16:24:36 UTC

I created two assignment as foundation: the first specifically goes through how to use AI ethically (and what is unethical use). Then the following assignment uses AI for a foundation and then they have an evaluation. (FYI, I teach history)

2025-08-28 16:24:40 UTC

Continuously revising discussion prompts to include self-reflection on readings/videos, connecting to content.

Writing and Assignment Chatbots

2025-08-28 16:24:42 UTC

Created Socratic chatbots to measure student comprehension of course content and to help students organize notes, develop thesis statements and topic sentences and provide writing feedback.

Take home exams and quizzes

2025-08-28 16:24:47 UTC

removed take home exams and quizzes - replaced with in person exams and quizzes! Works great!

Guided prompting

2025-08-28 16:24:49 UTC

Have started providing prompt templates and guides.

Gathering data, graph and write about it so hard for AI to do this for us (so far).

2025-08-28 16:25:07 UTC

Using AI to peer review a draft lesson plan and then revising the lesson based on feedback in a College of Education class.

2025-08-28 16:25:25 UTC

2025-08-28 16:25:26 UTC

Still working through push back issue.

Modeling real-world for my peers

ejohnsonwhit — 2025-08-28 16:25:29 UTC

I provide "real-world" case scenarios (from Perplexity) and have faculty reflect.

Text analysis

2025-08-28 16:25:30 UTC

Not a lecturer, but assisted a lecturer in how their students can review the text analysis examples different LLMs are giving them and comparing it to their own text analysis.

2025-08-28 16:25:31 UTC

I don't see any option among these for teaching actual A.I. literacy in a way that doesn't ignore it but is directly confronts and illustrates why its inclusion in a first-year curriculum is wildly premature.

Scenarios about AI Use in Research

2025-08-28 16:25:33 UTC

Created an interactive discussion about use of AI in developing a research proposal for a research methods course.

Enlighten students on how to use AI including their merits and demerits...

2025-08-28 16:25:34 UTC

Teacher Ed

csilvasibilin — 2025-08-28 16:25:40 UTC

Replacing presentations with a new assignment where students build their own educational AI apps https://academicworks.cuny.edu/yc_oers/42/

2025-08-28 16:25:42 UTC

I've also shown students prompts & AI responses and had students fact-check, "grade" AI responses.

Small adjustments and some new assignments

2025-08-28 16:25:43 UTC

Learning Outcome Transparency

2025-08-28 16:25:47 UTC

Reminding students of WHY they are doing each assignment/activity/assessment. Why it will help them learn how to do something useful - why actually doing it adds value to their lives.

Use notebook lm to create podcasts from articles

2025-08-28 16:25:57 UTC

Competency-Based Education Principles

2025-08-28 16:25:58 UTC

I have been designing CBE programs and courses for over 10 years. Using backward design to establish authentic assessments that measure competency aligns well with the issues and opportunities with GenAI. Including evidence of the student's experience in developing the authentic artifact is critical.

Can use AI any time in the project process - but reflect on where it was useful or not

unboundeq — 2025-08-28 16:25:59 UTC

I promote critical AI literacy, and I open it up for students to use AI any time in the process of a large project with several steps - they each find it useful in different stages - some like it for brainstorming, some for grammar checks, some for image generation, others decide not to use it at all in the end... they develop their critical assessment of appropriate use for AI

Students encouraged to use AI to generate three proposal drafts rather than the one required before tool was available

2025-08-28 16:25:59 UTC

2025-08-28 16:26:02 UTC

More in class hands-on group work connected to lived experiences.

AID Framework

2025-08-28 16:26:17 UTC

Alongside intentional integration of AI in assessments, I'm recommending use of the AID Framework by Dr. Kari Weaver as a way of documenting AI tool use in process.

We've significantly increased our use of reflective writing and flipped classroom practices.

2025-08-28 16:26:17 UTC

Creating Policies and Procedures

2025-08-28 16:26:20 UTC

I use AI to help faculty and staff to create more effective policies and procedures.

Practice or Industry based questions and analysis

2025-08-28 16:26:21 UTC

Relying less on homework and more on class activities

2025-08-28 16:26:29 UTC

Entire AI Literacy Course

2025-08-28 16:26:32 UTC

I designed an entire AI literacy course rooted in "fun" so they have a common language and expertise in their personal leisure. Helps them understand when they should or shouldn't use AI. Reflection on competencies is the assessment techniques used

AI has no 'mental model' of the world

jvernon77a — 2025-08-28 16:26:36 UTC

My assessments emphasise synthesis of evidence, justifications, decision making, inference, working backwards...I am trying to probe the differences between human and artificial intelligence. I want students NOT to use it, or to use it in ways that will show its limitations. Putting the question into a chat bar is not much fun, intellectually

TILT

2025-08-28 16:26:42 UTC

More use of AI to refine TILT instructions for assignments

Purposefully design high AI use assignments

2025-08-28 16:26:44 UTC

Provide AI prompts to help them engage meaningful ways, and encourage reflection about strenghts/weaknesses of outputs. Example: Having AI take on a role then interviewing them having them answer questions from the perspective of a famous person, then evaluate/fact check it.

The prompts have changed to get more precise answers

2025-08-28 16:27:03 UTC

AI Literacy

2025-08-28 16:27:13 UTC

Integrating AI more intentionally, having fuller conversations (in class and online), teaching students to use AI to brainstorm and process course content.

2025-08-28 16:27:14 UTC

Acknowledging my student's use of AI when addressing discussion posts and encouraging them to incorporate personal opinions about the subject matter and the document they have found on IA platforms.

Research on career pathways and linking adult occupational development theories with the skills and time requirements for these paths.

2025-08-28 16:27:20 UTC

accessibility

2025-08-28 16:27:21 UTC

Using Ai to revise assignments to be more accessible.

2025-08-28 16:27:25 UTC

Including more oral presentations/discussions. Students create videos in discussion boards. If they can articulate their understanding and share it with others it is a win/win.

AI was not good at most of my authentic assessments

2025-08-28 16:27:41 UTC

AI gave me responses to every assignment i gave it. however, they were not good. i thought AI "should" be good at it, that these assignments were not cognitively difficult, but i was wrong.

Use AI to create checklists for inspecting areas for safety concerns.

2025-08-28 16:27:43 UTC

Infused AI exploration throughout course

2025-08-28 16:27:47 UTC

Included exploration of, and option to practice, ethical use of AI in all steps in the research proposal development process. Created a "log template" for them to fill out throughout the course and submit with drafts of their proposal.

Reflections, and oral presentation elements

2025-08-28 16:27:54 UTC

To ensure students are truly invested in the process of writing, there's a reflection requirement (done in class, by hand, with no phones/devices present) where students explain their choices and strategies for different parts of their projects (these reflections take place during the process, so one assignment has at least 3 reflections); additionally, students in most of my classes present on their "big" project at the end of the semester, and need to demonstrate fluency in their topic and also, be able to answer questions about their sources and their thinking in real time.

Analyze an AI created research design

2025-08-28 16:28:56 UTC

Created an AI research design based on an individual research question to analyze for integrity issues, rigour, and potential issues

Don't just say no, but also when it's helpful to use

2025-08-28 16:31:32 UTC

In most assignments I indicate why not to use AI for certain elements, but also offer thoughts on ways when AI might be helpful and ethical. So it's never just a "Don't do it," but "this is why AI is not allowed/wanted here," information and thoughts on how AI might help in components where they're stuck.
