At a time when freely available, general-purpose AI can pass undergraduate courses and exams – how can we design effective undergraduate text-based, asynchronous assessments and learning activities?
In this workshop, we’ll explore the basics of general-purpose, text-based generative AIs, discuss some of the emerging practices in the higher education sector related to undergraduate assessment and activity design, and get hands-on: learning the basics of how to prompt AIs and analysing some of your own assessments using popular, freely available AI tools.
Bring a range of assessments and activities to analyse (e.g. forum discussion prompts, quiz questions, short and long-form text assessments), your curiosity, and a willingness to share and discuss your thoughts and findings.
Registration is limited to just 20 particpants. Symposium participants ONLY.
Registration has now closed. Allocation exhausted.
