AI and HE Assessment - (Part 3) Continuous Assessment

Continuous Assessment

Following the previous two posts, the advent of Chatbots and their impact on traditional high-stake written submissions in higher education assessment left HEIs with no choice but to refresh and revisit assessments across university curricula. The sector has been reluctant and even lethargic to modernise the evaluation system appropriately in response to the wants and needs of the 21st century. ChatGPT in November 2022 delivered a wake-up shock to the plodding evaluation system in higher education to think about more exciting and meaningful methods of assessments. 

Assessment Distribution

In the previous post, I highlighted the importance of putting more emphasis on Formative assessments in the design and administration of assessment in higher education. In this post, I draw your attention to the distribution of assessment tasks as a combination of low, medium and high-stake assessment points. 

Distributed Assessment greatly elevates the quality of students' learning and reduces their anxiety and stress. It promotes students' evaluative judgement skills, bringing more elements of authenticity in the design and implementation of assessment as a part of the student learning journey.
