You are cordially invited to the AI Lunch & Learn session titled "Transforming Assessment Practices in Higher Education with the AI Assessment Scale (AIAS)" featuring guest speaker Assoc. Prof. Mike Perkins, the Head of the Centre for Research & Innovation at British University Vietnam, Vietnam.
As the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) technologies have become increasingly ubiquitous in HE, higher education institutions must equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary for an AI-driven future. Although some HEIs have attempted to ban the use of these tools and enforce this through an AI text detection strategy, this session proposes an alternative solution to this challenge. The AI Assessment Scale (AIAS) developed by Perkins et al. (2024), offers a flexible framework for incorporating GenAI into educational assessments while promoting academic integrity and ethical use of these technologies. It consists of five allowable levels of AI use in submitted assessments, ranging from 'No AI' to ‘AI Exploration’, enabling educators to design assessments that focus on areas requiring human input and critical thinking. This talk will explore the challenges of attempting to use a detection-based approach to dealing with GenAI use in assessments, introduce the AIAS as a possible alternative, and discuss the findings of a pilot study of the AIAS at British University Vietnam (BUV) which has demonstrated significant benefits in reducing misconduct and supporting student engagement and attainment.
Purpose of the Sessions:
These sessions serve as a platform for NWU staff to engage in professional development and knowledge sharing related to Artificial Intelligence and its applications in teaching, learning, and research.
Outcomes of the Sessions:
- Foster a collaborative and continuous learning environment, enhancing teaching practices and student learning experiences.
- Equip NWU staff with knowledge and skills to understand AI's role in the NWU environment.
