Recap
Exploring the Updated AI Assessment Scale
In our recent webinar held on September 25th, we took a look at the revised AI Assessment Scale (AIAS; Perkins et al. 2024), providing attendees with valuable insights and updated guidance on integrating AI into academic assignments and assessments.
The original AI Assessment Scale introduced in our prior session had been a helpful framework for faculty, administrators, and instructional designers to gauge the effective use of AI in education. However, with the recent release of a revised version of the scale, this follow-up webinar focused on reassessing and realigning AI implementation strategies to reflect the new levels for AI and assessment..
What Changed in the Updated Scale?
One of the key updates is a stronger emphasis on maintaining academic integrity while leveraging AI as a tool for learning. This new version of the scale encourages faculty to think critically about how AI can be integrated into assessments without compromising the rigor or objectives of the course.
Examples previously discussed in the initial session were revisited, and newly developed ones shared, showcasing how these case studies can be adopted in alignment with the new scale. This demonstrated the importance of continuously revising teaching methods as AI technologies evolve and as educational guidelines shift to meet new challenges.
Key Insights and Takeaways
- Revised Guidelines: The updated scale prompted thoughtful discussion on the need for continuous adaptation of teaching practices, ensuring that AI is used responsibly and effectively.
- Practical Applications: Faculty shared real-world examples of how AI is being integrated into courses in a way that promotes both student engagement and academic integrity.
- Ongoing AI Integration: The conversation highlighted the importance of flexibility in approaches to AI and how faculty can future-proof their teaching practices by remaining responsive to the evolving tech landscape.
Looking Ahead
The revised AI Assessment Scale serves as an important tool in guiding faculty on how to responsibly and ethically integrate AI into their classrooms. As the academic year progresses, we look forward to continuing these conversations and providing educators with the resources they need to succeed in this new AI-driven educational landscape.
