Assessment in the AI era

Designing assignments where AI use is clear, fair and visible.

What it is

Some assignments now need to assume AI, some need to exclude it, and some should require it. The design choice matters more than detection.

Why it matters

AI detectors are unreliable. Clear policy and good assignment design work better.

Key ideas

• Say which uses are allowed, per assignment.
• Grade the process: drafts, reflections, oral checks.
• Run your own prompt through AI before assigning it.

Try it: AI-test your own assignment

1. Paste one of your prompts into two assistants.
2. Grade the results with your rubric.
3. Redesign one element so the thinking is visible.
