Description

Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it

While some assessment components do not need significant adjustment in the move to online (including at-distance) learning, others require some additional thought and may need to be replaced/significantly adjusted. In support of the move to online/remote assessment in March 2020, this resource provides some indication of the kind of modifications that could be made for these common assessments. It is not an exhaustive list, but we hope it may be helpful in considering some of the available options.

This open course is designed to facilitate the development of your Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy so that you can explore and innovate using Generative AI (GenAI) within your teaching, learning, and assessment practices.

In light of the potential opportunities and challenges of these technologies, this course will facilitate you in exploring the fundamentals of GenAI and AI Literacy, whilst focusing on an ethical practice. You will consider innovative ways in which you can respond to the challenges arising from the impact of these technologies in Higher Education.

Completion of this course will support you in developing a GenAI teaching strategy to apply to your own practice.

This short guide provides an overview of GenAI and a longer discussion of how assessments can be (re)designed to integrate or limit the use of GenAI by students. It includes examples from teaching practice at University College Cork.

We were both impressed and worried to witness the rapid escalation in the ability of tools like ChatGPT to conjure credible-seeming scholarly prose ex-nihilo. Rather than leaving the assessment strategy in MEEN3010 exposed to AI plagiarism, we decided to shift the focus towards a more authentic and interactive learning activity; a poster session.
