The future of authentic assessment: teaching work, scalability and AI

Professor Phillip Dawson, Associate Director, Centre for Research in Assessment and Digital Learning | Deakin University This video is part 2 of a special Integrity Matters series ‘Re-imagining University Assessment in a Digital World’, exploring the book of the same name. We chat with one of its co-authors, Professor Phillip Dawson, Associate Director of the Centre for Research in Assessment and Digital Learning (CRADLE) at Deakin University. Speaking to the premise of the book, Phill explains the need for a reimagining of learning and assessment practices to align with technological and societal progression, and prepare students for an era of artificial intelligence that recalibrates expectations of human skills and labour. He emphasises that assessment needs to function for students' future work, and urges institutions to capitalise on the learnings and innovation sparked by the pandemic-induced shift to online learning. Identifying three imperatives: renewed focus on the future, teaching work in the digital world, and new ways of thinking about scalability, Phill raises awareness of how institutions’ traditions and norms can limit assessment decision-making and the important role of evaluative judgement in shaping and refining assessment practices. He also considers what revised standards and expectations may mean for the feasibility of educator workloads, and determining if assessment approaches are scalable. Advocating for the design of ‘future authentic assessment’, Phill contemplates AI as a vehicle for ‘cognitive offloading’ that enables students to tackle higher-order thinking core to their discipline, and new approaches such as ‘stealth assessment’, where assessment becomes less formalised and more embedded in everyday learning. How can educators and institutions navigate operational constraints so that assessment innovation thrives? Watch the video to hear Phill’s perspective, and stay tuned for Part 3 of this series with Dr Edd Pitt on 13th July. #turnitin #integritymatters #assessment #digitalassessment #authenticassessment #highered #edtech
