AI and Assessment: What Needs to Change

When you register for this event you will be added to the Think Forward Educators email list.

In the last couple of years, Large Language Models (LLMs) have disrupted many aspects of assessment. AI plagiarism is a threat to the integrity of many traditional assessments, but AI grading and feedback tools promise to reduce teacher workload and provide rapid and extensive feedback. What is the hype and what is reality? Can AI mark accurately? Can it provide useful feedback that helps students improve?

How do we avoid the dystopian future where students use AI to write essays that AI marks? In this session, Daisy Christodoulou will outline the latest research in this area, including No More Marking's pioneering research with over 1,000 schools in England.
