NAIN Podcast Series: Professor Phillip Dawson on Assessment design in a time of AI

Mary-Claire Kennedy (NAIN Chair and Academic Integrity Lead at University of Limerick (UL)) interviews Professor Phillip Dawson (Co-Director of the Centre for Research in Assessment and Digital Learning (CRADLE), Deakin University). In their discussion Dr Mary-Claire Kennedy and Professor Dawson explore the critical role of validity in assessment, emphasising that not all learning activities need to serve as formal assessment. The discussion covers the use of artificial intelligence by students in assessments, questioning the feasibility of imposing restrictions if they cannot be effectively enforced. The conversation also covers practical and structural redesigning of assessment, advocating for a shift from module-level evaluation to more holistic programmatic assessment. The importance of community, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing is highlighted as key to maintaining assessment integrity. Finally, the podcast offers some practical tips for those planning assessment for the next academic year.
