LibGuides: Generative Artificial Intelligence and Library Instruction: Assessment

How To

Decide if you want the students to use GenAI tools or not. Understand that the students may still decide to use the tools, even if you do not want to them to use those tools
Take your original assignment and test with GenAI tools (ChatGPT). What can the students complete using these tools? Does it actually work? Will the students be led astray, or does it improve their work?
Consider flipped classroom, and or active learning classes where students can complete the assignment in class.
Incorporate the option to use GenAI into the assignment. Have the students critique the output from the tool. Note: be aware of the privacy and security issues associated with GenAI tools (see UM CATL info on this)

Don't Fear the Robot: future-authentic assessment and generative artificial assessment Generative artificial intelligence is now capable of producing outputs that appear to satisfy some learning outcomes. A recent study claims to have been able to mostly pass the US Medical Licensing Exam using ChatGPT. Educators experimenting with these tools are finding that their assessments are vulnerable to ‘AIgerism’, or AI-assisted plagiarism. However, a cheating perspective is not the only way to consider the role of generative artificial intelligence in assessment. This presentation will consider generative artificial intelligence in the context of future-authentic assessment, a way of assessing that considers both current and future realities of a discipline. With tools like ChatGPT now a part of life, work and civic engagement, should capability with these tools be considered a learning outcome in and of itself? Can the challenge for educators change from “how do I ban or detect AIgerism, or design tasks that AI can’t do”, towards how to represent a world where these tools are normal? What might we learn from previous technology panics and a history of transitioning from worry about new technologies such as writing, calculators and the Internet, to embracing them and even incorporating them into learning outcomes?
