Description

This course takes educators on a three-stage journey: from awareness of what AI-assisted assessment means within established pedagogical and European Union regulatory frameworks, through the application of practical skills in redesigning assessment tasks and co-creating assessment tasks, to responsibility – developing the critical capacity needed to address issues of equity, bias and transparency while keeping professional judgement at the centre of every assessment decision.

Educators leave with a practical toolkit and a personal learning journal grounded in their own context, students and values.

Learning objectives

  • identify the opportunities and limitations of AI in student assessment by exploring assessment principles, current AI capabilities and relevant European Union frameworks
  • design AI-aware assessment tasks and use AI to support assessment design through authentic classroom examples and practical activities
  • reconsider assessment approaches to ensure they provide meaningful evidence of student learning in the age of AI through reflection and assessment redesign
  • evaluate the equity risks and ethical implications of AI assessment tools for diverse student populations
  • develop a personal AI assessment plan, documented through a learning journal maintained throughout the course

Methodology & assessment

This self-paced course is already available online. Designed for flexibility, it allows you to explore the content and complete the activities at your own pace, with no deadlines, live sessions, or required meetings. The course consists of three modules, each including a mandatory scenario-based quiz that you must successfully complete to earn your certificate. You will also be invited to complete a learning journal, which is highly recommended but optional, with self-assessment criteria provided to support your learning. Forum discussions and Padlet contributions will not be moderated, fostering a fully self-directed learning experience.

Certification details

Upon successful completion of the course, a digital course certificate is awarded. The certificate shows the name of the learner and key course details such as the estimated learning hours, the learning objectives, and a link to the course homepage.
