Since the release of ChatGPT in November 2022, many university lecturers have been unsettled: Is the future of the term paper at stake? How can we ensure that performance in theses is actually due to the students' abilities and not to the support of AI tools such as ChatGPT, Bard, Claude and others? More generally, how do we organise exams and assessments in a world with these and other tools?
In a world that is increasingly characterised by generative AI tools, assessing students' actual performance is becoming a challenge. ‘Business as usual’ does not seem to be an option. Current examination practices need to be adapted. However, this is also an opportunity, as it is by no means the case that it was fully appropriate and up-to-date.
In this workshop, you will learn which forms of examination need to be reconsidered and adapted and what challenges may arise in the process. You will gain insights into the basics of a good framework for exams in a world with generative AI tools and explore the opportunities this presents for changing the current exam culture.
You will also learn about ways in which examinations can be designed, accompanied and supplemented in a competence-oriented way in an AI-influenced world in order to continue to enable meaningful assessments of students' individual competences. You will also receive tips on how to inform your students about the appropriate use of AI tools in your teaching and how you yourself can use AI tools to support the design of examination tasks.
The workshop will take place in a flipped classroom format. You will first be given access to self-study material that you can work on at your own pace and with your own specialisation. Plan approx. 2-3 hours for this. At our virtual face-to-face meeting, we will then delve deeper into the topic, clarify questions, work on challenges and look at examples.
