CET Talks! Ideas in Action: Assessment Design for a Time of AI - Professor Phillip Dawson
- Wed, Oct 21, 2026, from 3 - 4 PM (Zoom Webinar).
Artificial Intelligence can now generate outputs that meet the requirements of high-stakes assessments across many disciplines. This has sparked concerns about students using AI inappropriately to complete tasks, misrepresenting their abilities. It also raises deeper questions about the sustainability and authenticity of current assessment practices.
This presentation examines how assessment must evolve in response to AI. It draws on the presenter's work as one of the leaders of Assessment Reform for a time of Artificial Intelligence, a major Australian project funded by the national higher education regulator. As AI becomes an ever-present part of professional and academic life, how do we design assessments that both uphold integrity and prepare students for this new reality?
