(ITaLI/HASS/SCIENCE) Developed a broader worked out mind map of the Functional Use of AI in Assessment
(CC'd to Chris Frost, Marnie, Amber, Dale and Luke) I’ve just been thinking about the broader picture looking at how we can address the issue of using ‘gates’ to block conditional use of AI according to level. I have tried to work out the parts of assessment that can be utilised by AI, as opposed to those that still place a burden of proof on the student. -
(HASS) Proposed solutions to 2024 July Student Forum on AI
(Cc'd Chris) Created an extended table that looked at identification of perceived issues and offered proposed solutions to the 5 Key Messages, as feedback, collected from a UQ student survey.
We could then provide these details to better communicate to students what we are doing about these specific issues raised. -

(HASS) Consulted with Suraiya Abdul Hameed about course security for the MEdSt Program
I proposed that we hold an AI-driven workshop to have the course convenors analyse their course and consider what improvements could be considered to improve assessment security and introduce the use of AI into the course in activities and assessment. I will facilitate the workshop - proposed time 1 hour. Suggested attendees - about 5-7 early adopters who lead 3 courses each. Created attached document for Su and I to use for general communications when useful. -

(HASS) Created Assessment Analysis Workshop document for use in MEdSt Pilot Workshop: Course Analysis using AI
To be conducted with a pilot group of MEdSt course convenors in April (proposed), as discussed with Suraiya. This workshop provides Course Leads with an opportunity to utilise AI to evaluate their courses, focusing on course design, assessment methods, and learning activities. This exercise supports the key objectives of the Lead Through Learning Plan by: ensuring course security through observation (without the use of AI), and integrating AI into learning practices and assessment. -
On leave Monday March 31 to Tuesday April 8
-
(HASS & SCIENCE) Created Power Prompts for Course Analysis and Recommendation
These prompts were incrementally improved upon since March 24, for the purposes of providing useful information for MEdSt course convenors with clear and targeted course feedback that looks at: aims/LOs alignment, assessment alignment, and activities alignment. This is a key part of the planned workshop to have academics review their assessment security, and areas for revision and improvement; and having them use AI as a part of the process. -

(HASS & SCIENCE) Developed dynamic web interface version of the AI Agent version that I created on April 24th.
As a part of the Assessment Transformation process, some existing Assessment Types and functions will need to be reevaluated. What alternative assessment types are there, what do they do, how are they used, and are they better suited to measuring the intended learning outcomes? As a user interface (that could be used by LDs, CCs), I find that this HTML version is far more easier to use and interact with, providing immediate recall of the required information for each assessment type. -
