AI in Assessment Example: Level 2

Presentation Outline (Business Management)

At this “AI Planning” level of the five-level AI Assessment Scale (Perkins, et al., 2024) students may use Al for pre-task activities such as brainstorming, outlining and initial research. This level focuses on the effective use of Al for planning, synthesis, and ideation, but assessments should emphasize the ability to develop and refine these ideas independently.

Assignment Title: Strategic Management Practices Presentation

Due Date: [Insert Due Date]

Assignment Overview:
In this assignment, you will develop a presentation on strategic management practices, using AI tools to assist in the initial planning and structuring phases. AI can help generate ideas, create outlines, and suggest key points for your presentation. However, the final content, slides, and delivery must be developed independently, reflecting your understanding and analysis of the topic. This assignment emphasizes the use of AI as a supportive tool during the brainstorming and outlining stages, ensuring that your final presentation is original and academically rigorous.

Objectives:

To create a comprehensive and well-organized presentation on strategic management practices.
To use AI tools to assist in brainstorming, outlining, and structuring the presentation.
To independently develop and deliver the final presentation, ensuring originality and critical engagement with the material.

Instructions:

Initial Brainstorming:
- Use AI tools to help brainstorm key topics and themes related to strategic management practices. AI can assist in generating ideas for topics such as management theories, case studies, and practical applications that you may want to include in your presentation.
- Reflect on the AI-generated ideas and select the most relevant and impactful topics for your presentation. Consider how these topics will contribute to a coherent and engaging discussion on strategic management.
Outline Creation:
- Use AI to create a detailed outline for your presentation. This outline should include sections such as:
  - Introduction: Overview of strategic management and its importance in business practices.
  - Key Theories: Explanation of fundamental strategic management theories and their applications.
  - Case Studies: Examples of companies that have successfully implemented strategic management practices.
  - Practical Applications: Discussion on how these practices can be applied in real-world business scenarios.
- AI can also suggest visual aids, examples, and data points to enhance the clarity and impact of your presentation. Review and refine the AI-generated outline to ensure it aligns with your presentation goals and narrative structure.
Independent Presentation Development:
- Based on the AI-assisted outline, develop your presentation independently. Create a set of 10-12 slides that clearly convey your key points, supported by data, examples, and visual aids.
- Ensure that the slides are well-organized, visually appealing, and designed to facilitate a logical flow of information during your presentation. Practice delivering your presentation, focusing on clear communication, logical flow, and audience engagement.
Final Submission and Presentation:
- Submit your final presentation slides along with the AI-generated outline and a brief commentary (1-2 pages) discussing how AI was used during the planning phase. Reflect on how AI influenced the structure and content of your presentation, and how you ensured that the final product was independently developed.
- Deliver your presentation in class, engaging with your audience and clearly communicating your key points. Focus on delivering the content confidently and effectively, using the slides to enhance your discussion.

Evaluation Criteria:

– Content and Depth of Analysis (40%): Presenting a well-reasoned and insightful analysis of strategic management practices, supported by relevant examples and case studies.

– Critical Engagement with AI Tools (20%): Effectively using AI to assist in brainstorming and outlining, while ensuring that the final presentation is independently developed.

– Presentation Structure and Organization (20%): Delivering a well-organized and visually engaging presentation with clear key points and logical flow.

– Delivery and Engagement (15%): Presenting the content clearly and confidently, engaging with the audience and effectively communicating your ideas.

– Reflective Commentary (5%): Providing a thoughtful reflection on the AI-assisted planning process and how it influenced the final presentation.

Support and Resources:

– AI Tools and Software: Access to AI tools such as [specify tools, e.g., Canva, PowerPoint, Jasper] will be provided through the university’s business lab. Tutorials on using these tools for brainstorming and structuring presentations will be available at the beginning of the assignment period.

– Workshops and Tutorials: Attend workshops focused on AI-assisted presentation planning, covering techniques for structuring content, designing slides, and refining AI-generated ideas.

– Office Hours: Schedule office hours with your instructor to discuss your presentation topic, AI tool use, and strategies for refining and expanding AI-generated ideas.

– Library Resources: The university library offers access to business management journals, case studies, and relevant databases. Librarians can assist you in finding sources and navigating AI tools for presentation planning.

– Peer Collaboration: Participate in peer review sessions where you can present your AI-assisted outline and receive feedback on how to refine and enhance your presentation.

Academic Integrity:
Ensure that the final presentation and slides are independently developed, with AI tools used only for initial brainstorming and structuring. Misuse of AI to generate content for the final presentation or failure to critically engage with AI-generated ideas will be treated as a breach of academic integrity.
