Abstract

In Spring 2023, the CEI invited faculty and teaching staff to propose Education and Generative AI (EDGE-AI) projects looking to explore new teaching and learning methods utilizing GenAI. A year and a half later, these projects are yielding important findings for innovative teaching practices. In the second workshop of our EDGE-AI series, two of our projects share their work so far, and how their findings can help shape HKUST's teaching and learning landscape.

Last Spring, the CEI invited faculty and teaching staff to propose Education and Generative AI (EDGE-AI) projects to explore new teaching and learning methods for using generative AI technology in teaching and learning. A year on, these projects are yielding important findings for best teaching practices. In this workshop, two of our EDGE-AI projects share their work so far, their findings, and how these findings can help shape the new landscape of generative AI in teaching and learning.

Grading with AI: How to Save Time, Improve Feedback, & Increase Consistency

About the workshop:

Grading and assessment continue to be significant challenges for many educators. It requires considerable time and effort to grade assignments. It requires even more time and energy to provide quality feedback, resulting in few instructors offering as many suggestions for improvement as they would like. Finally, even the most committed educators can lose focus after grading tens or even hundreds of essays, which may lead to inconsistent and unfair evaluations.

Utilising Generative AI in Assessment Design

Image
Body
The integration of Generative AI into assessments in higher education has led to concerns over their validity among the teaching staff. Despite the many benefits of Generative AI, some fear that it will reduce the need for critical engagement that is key to deep and meaningful learning. Given the near impossibility for it to be out-designed, the best option available would be to design assessment tasks around it. Drawing on a number of case studies of top universities around the world, this seminar discusses strategies on how Gen AI can be implemented in assessment to a varying extent across different academic disciplines to foster student empowerment and engagement.
