Universities Reimagine Assessment Amid Generative AI

Over the past five years, higher education institutions are confronting generative AI disruptions that expose the shortcomings of the 'knowledge factory' model, the author argues. The piece cites standardized assessments, large classes, and productivity-driven incentives as driving AI misuse and undermining deep learning. It recommends ungrading, dialogue-based pedagogy, open education, and care-focused teaching to restore meaningful student learning and resilience to AI.
Key Points

- 2Explain that standardized assessments and productivity-driven models incentivize AI misuse and hinder deep learning.
- 3Recommend adopting ungrading, dialogue-based pedagogy, open education, and care ethics to restore meaningful learning.
Scoring Rationale
Strong systemic analysis with practical pedagogical alternatives, but limited empirical evidence and largely normative argumentation.
