Topic: The Transformative Potential of Generative AI in Educational Assessment

Abstract:
Generative AI, exemplified by tools like ChatGPT, is revolutionising educational assessments by moving beyond traditional, memorisation-focused methods. This transformative technology is reshaping evaluations to encompass a wider array of skills crucial for real-world application, including analytical, creative, and problem-solving abilities. This presentation will delve into Generative AI's diverse applications across various assessment forms underscoring its role in enriching both formative and summative assessments with nuanced, comprehensive feedback that encourages critical thinking.

Moreover, the presentation will argue that Generative AI is not a fleeting trend but a permanent fixture in educational landscapes, essential for fostering constructive feedback and critical thinking skills that align with modern workforce demands. Its integration into assessments is transforming educational experiences into more pertinent and captivating ones. This development encourages both educators and students to view AI as a beneficial tool for improvement, rather than something to be feared or misused for gaining unfair advantages in assessments. This approach underscores the importance of adapting to AI’s presence in education, positioning it as a pivotal element in preparing students for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
