Panel Overview: Students learn in formal and informal settings and ways. Generative AI will challenge our assumptions about the way learning happens and what it means to have learned something. This panel will explore the experiences of instructors and students from different disciplines and look to future directions for learning in the age of generative AI. 

Questions explored:

Overview: While beliefs regarding the impact of AI on education – both realized and potential – are readily available, what we actually know and understand about such impacts is still quite limited.  This panel will illustrate some of the routes that researchers are taking towards building a better collective understanding necessary for the responsible use of AI in education.

The most important but also the most challenging part of designing a rubric is identifying the criteria to assess. In this video, we share four questions and an example to guide you with designing rubric criteria to effectively assess learning. After you watch the video, review one of your current assessment tasks to see the extent to which you address the four questions.

Would you like to (re)design one of your courses and enhance your teaching skills?

In this hands-on workshop, we will discuss learning-centered course design principles and support you with developing an in-depth Course Plan, which you can use to help prepare your course outline. This is a great opportunity to exchange feedback among peers to improve course design and teaching approaches.

Introduce them to The successful TA: A practical approach to effective teaching (2022) (free PDF download).

  • Suggest they read Assessing student learning (Ch. 7).
  • Organize a “new TA” orientation in your unit this Fall (Appendix: Developing training opportunities for TAs).
  • Discuss assessment, feedback, and grading strategies described in the book with your TAs.

The definition of a “large class” may vary depending on context; however, the challenges encountered tend to be consistent across disciplines. Join us to gain insights from fellow instructors on how they design and implement assessment tasks that support learning while also streamlining grading processes to be more effective and time efficient.

Last term, panelists from across the McGill community engaged in a thought-provoking discussion about the rapidly evolving world of generative AI as it relates to teaching, learning, and assessment. Organize a “watch party” with colleagues to view a video of the discussion. Then, have a conversation amongst yourselves about your approaches to assessment in the age of AI."

Assessment signals what is important for students to learn and provides them with feedback on their progress. While the emergence of generative (gen) AI has the potential to revolutionize the way we assess student learning—by creating personalized assessment tasks tailored to individual student learning outcomes and supporting diversity and inclusion, it also raises concerns about surface learning, authenticity, integrity, and bias.
