Designing Assessments with AI Support ***Walk-ins Welcome*** In-Person / Online
Designing assessments that are aligned, inclusive, and rigorous is central to effective teaching but it’s also time-consuming. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to use generative AI tools to streamline assessment design, revision, and evaluation while maintaining alignment with learning objectives. We’ll explore how AI can help you create a variety of assessment types, adapt them for different modalities, improve accessibility and inclusivity, and develop clear, fair rubrics. You’ll also learn strategies for evaluating AI-generated assessments for quality and appropriateness and leave with prompt templates, practical examples, and the confidence to make AI a trusted partner in your assessment workflow.
Upon completion of this learning experience, participants will be able to:
- describe how generative AI can support assessment creation, revision, and analysis to improve alignment, efficiency, and inclusivity in higher education
- use AI to design a variety of assessments, including multiple-choice, open-ended, scenario-based, and problem-solving tasks, that align with course learning objectives
- evaluate AI-generated assessments for validity, reliability, and appropriateness to the intended learning outcomes
- use AI to adapt existing assessments to different modalities or delivery formats, improve accessibility, inclusive language, and alternative assessment formats to accommodate diverse learners
- create and revise rubrics with AI assistance to ensure clear, measurable criteria and fairness across performance levels
- revise assessment instructions and content with AI to improve clarity, accessibility, and inclusive language
- apply AI tools to revise or design assessments that maintain academic rigor and minimize opportunities for academic dishonesty.
- apply and reflect on how AI can support continuous improvement of assessment strategies through feedback analysis and iterative design.
