About this event: This practical session explores how generative AI (GenAI) can be meaningfully integrated into assessment to support the development of AI literacy and competencies. 

A central focus of the session is the introduction of the EUIA (Escala de Uso de la IA), a framework designed to assess and promote learners’ AI literacy through structured interaction with GenAI tools. The session also proposes a reconceptualisation of assessment as a processfolio, where emphasis is placed on evaluating the learning process itself—particularly students’ interaction with AI—rather than solely the final output.

The EUIA scale was developed by the session facilitator as part of the ECTS module Strategies for the Integration of AI in Assessment, delivered by ULPGC in collaboration with the European University Association network. Participants in this module—teaching staff from ULPGC and across Europe—have reported that the scale is a valuable tool for understanding both the ethical and pedagogical implications of GenAI in assessment.

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

Understand key concepts related to AI literacy and competence, as well as major international frameworks.

Explore strategies for integrating AI into assessment to support the development of AI-related skills and competencies.

Reflect on the concept of processfolio and its role in assessing learning processes rather than just final outputs.

Guest Speaker

About this event: Generative AI has sparked a genuine crisis in higher education—but perhaps it's not the one we think.

Much of the focus has been on how to protect writing from AI. This webinar asks a different question: why did writing become so central to education in the first place, and what happens when emerging technologies means its role is fundamentally changing?

In The Post-Writing University, Kelly Webb-Davies explores what happens when we decentre writing and recentre thought. Drawing on the DETAP framework of authorship, and Voice-First Written Assessment (VFWA), she argues that AI offers an opportunity not simply to redesign assessment, but to rethink some of higher education's most fundamental concepts: authorship, originality, communication, and whose ideas get heard.

Rather than asking whether students wrote every word themselves, maybe we need to ask a more important question: whose ideas are being developed, how are they expressed, and who takes responsibility for them? As people are increasingly able to communicate complex thinking through AI-mediated and multimodal technology, long-standing assumptions about academic work, linguistic proficiency, and knowledge demonstration become increasingly difficult to defend.

This session will challenge deeply embedded assumptions about writing, plagiarism, and assessment while offering practical approaches for evaluating what matters most: students' thinking. Participants will leave with a new lens for understanding authorship in the age of AI and concrete strategies for creating more inclusive, accessible, and intellectually authentic forms of assessment.

Guest Speaker

About this event: The first wave of responses to generative AI is reaching its limits. Detection has proven unreliable, authentic assessment no longer protects integrity on its own, and each new layer of rules and disclosure quietly shifts the interpretive burden onto students. Beneath the procedural scramble lies a harder question institutions have been slow to confront: when a machine can produce a competent answer on demand, what are we actually assessing — and what is higher education for?

This fireside chat brings together three leading voices who approach that question from different directions. Professor Punya Mishra (Arizona State University) asks not only what AI enables, but what it displaces. Professor Tina Austin (UCLA/USC) argues for assessing reasoning over output. Dr Chahna Gonsalves (King's College London) examines the equity costs built into the assessment and transparency policies we are now rushing to write.

Spanning everything from sector policy to individual classroom practice, the session is designed for you to leave with something concrete to act on, whatever your position may be.

Guest Speakers

About this event: Artificial intelligence can now generate outputs that meet the requirements of high-stakes assessments across many disciplines. This has sparked concerns about students using AI inappropriately to complete tasks, misrepresenting their abilities. It also raises deeper questions about the sustainability and authenticity of current assessment practices.

This presentation examines how assessment must evolve in response to AI. It draws on the presenter’s work as one of the leaders of Assessment Reform for a Time of Artificial Intelligence, a major Australian project funded by the national higher education regulator. As AI becomes an ever-present part of professional and academic life, how do we design assessments that both uphold integrity and prepare students for this new reality?

Guest Speaker

About this event: During this webinar we will consider the multimodal use of Generative AI (GenAI) and emphasise its role in learning, not just in product creation. It will be an opportunity to think about how we can use GenAI to help students understand and think deeper about their assessments (briefs and criteria). Participants will learn about how with the right prompts, GenAI can help to:

• Develop creative ways to present assessment briefs beyond traditional written formats.

• Design activities to help students’ understanding of assessment requirements.

• Develop engaging and clearer ways to make sense of assessment criteria.

Guest Speaker

About this event: In this workshop Ellie will share the University’s per assessment approach to AI guidance and discuss how it was rolled out as a whole-institution strategy which engaged every subject team. The approach aims to circumvent anxieties about AI by activating the assessment-related expertise and agency of individual academics and focusing their attention on permission, guidance, transparency, and student learning needs.

Participants in this session will:

• Explore a resource for assessors which supports decision-making about appropriate AI use in individual assessments and which keeps the focus firmly on student learning with and without AI.

• Challenge some common assumptions which conflate AI permissions with implicit messages about good practice. 

• Discuss implications and limitations of a per assessment approach for programme and institution-wide decisions about AI in assessment. 

Guest Speaker

About this event: This session will explore the current landscape of AI and assessment in higher educational contexts, exploring the posited solutions and emerging challenges. At the same time, the session will explore the possibilities and practicalities of assessment reform for the era of AI, and explain the thought process behind the popular AI Assessment Scale for maintaining academic integrity and assurance of learning.

About this event: The emergence of Generative AI (GenAI) presents both opportunities and challenges for higher education, requiring holistic approaches to developing students’ AI literacy. This interactive workshop addresses the critical need for a holistic integration of AI literacy at module and programme levels, supporting educators in developing comprehensive integration strategies. Drawing on the AI in teaching and learning framework (Zhou & Schofield, 2024) and (Schofield and Zhou 2025), this online workshop aims to engage educators in practical approaches to embedding AI literacy across the curriculum. The workshop will provide participants with practical strategies through:

• Mapping learning outcomes to AI literacy dimensions using Microsoft Whiteboard

• Aligning teaching and learning activities with AI tools

• Embedding ethical considerations in AI-enhanced learning activities
