Artificial Intelligence in Education

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can enhance the way you teach and work

AI can be a powerful tool when used right. But it also has a range of limitations - it can produce work which is incorrect, biased, opaque, or simply nonsense. It is up to school administrators and teachers to ensure that these tools are used for the right purpose. The introduction of AI poses several risks if managed poorly or misued.

 

2. Assessment and Generative AI

Challenges

Generative AI provides challenges and opportunities for assessment. Our assessment tasks seek to gather samples of students’ work so we can make inferences about their ability. As technology changes, we need to be mindful that the work we sample continues to be representative of the abilities we are interested in, and not a reflection of their ability  to use Generative AI.

This year, Generative AI tools can produce work at a quality and speed significantly higher than it could in 2022 and we can expect that to continue over time, meaning that it is becoming increasingly difficult to determine an accurate picture of our students’ true capabilities.
