Workshop 3 – What can you assess about students’ capabilities when AI is available?
| Do students’ products and performances still provide a sufficient basis for assessing what you want to assess when AI is available? This workshop is one of three workshops that were offered across CBS departments in autumn and winter 2026–2027. The three workshops are now being offered across CBS for faculty who were unable to attend one or more of them in their department, as well as for other interested CBS teachers. When AI can make a substantial contribution to an assignment or performance, a strong result is not necessarily clear evidence of what the student can do independently. The central question therefore becomes what you actually want to assess, what evidence you need, and whether the current assessment still provides a sufficient basis for your judgement. In this hands-on workshop, you will work with one concrete assessment situation from your own course. This could be a formative assessment, an assignment or a final examination. You will first clarify which disciplinary capability you want to assess, what kind of performance would provide relevant evidence of that capability, and what your current assessment actually asks students to do. You will then work on: examining what the student’s product or performance actually makes visible and what it gives you a basis for assessing – considering whether students’ access to AI may make the link between the observed performance and the student’s own disciplinary capability less certain – identifying what, if anything, you are less certain you can assess – or explaining why the current evidence base remains sufficient – examining whether the current assessment practice should be retained, clarified, changed or supplemented with additional evidence – refining a possible change to the task, assessment conditions or evidence base with colleagues and considering whether it actually strengthens the basis for judgement, creates new problems or additional workload – and whether a smaller change might be sufficient. You will conclude by identifying one realistic next step for your own assessment. This might be to clarify or investigate something further, try out a small change, make an adjustment – or retain the current assessment if it already provides a sufficient basis for the judgement you need to make. You will also receive a question framework and a catalogue of assessment formats and possible adjustments that you can reuse when reviewing or redesigning assessment and examinations with and without AI. The workshop assumes that participants have a basic understanding of AI and are familiar with CBS’ current rules and guidelines in this area. If you do not already have this background, you can complete an accompanying online introductory module in Canvas before the workshop and familiarise yourself with the relevant CBS materials. The workshop itself focuses on the pedagogical questions surrounding assessment and examinations when AI is available. The Canvas room will be available to participants one week before the workshop. |
Target group
| CBS faculty who would like to examine whether their current assessment and examination formats still provide a sufficient basis for assessing students’ disciplinary capabilities when AI is available. The workshop is relevant for faculty who are already experiencing concrete challenges related to AI in assessment and examinations and for those who want to review their current practice before deciding whether anything needs to change. |
Intended learning outcomes
After the workshop, you will have worked on:
- clarifying which disciplinary capability you want to assess in one concrete assessment situation from your own course, and what kind of performance would provide relevant evidence of that capability
- Examining what your current assessment actually makes visible and what you can reasonably conclude about the student’s capability on that basis
- considering whether students’ access to AI may weaken or change the evidence base and identifying what, if anything, you become less certain you can assess
- examining and justifying whether the current assessment should be retained, clarified, changed or supplemented with additional evidence
- formulating a possible adjustment – or a rationale for retaining the current practice – together with one realistic next step
Workload: The workshop lasts two hours and takes place in person.
Preparation:
| There is no mandatory preparation. Please bring your course and the relevant learning objectives, as well as one concrete assessment or examination situation from your own teaching that you would like to examine during the workshop. |
