This video is about redefining assessment in the age of AI.
The speakers in the video, Amanda and I (the speaker refers to herself as I throughout the video), both former educators, discuss the impact of AI on assessment practices and how assessment can be improved using AI tools.
The speakers acknowledge the concerns that AI might replace teachers or trivialize assessments. However, they argue that AI can be a powerful tool to enhance assessments by:
- freeing up teachers’ time from grading mundane tasks
- allowing teachers to design more creative and engaging assessments
- providing students with more personalized feedback
The speakers also discuss the importance of focusing on durable skills, or 21st century skills, such as critical thinking, collaboration, and communication, in assessments. They believe that AI can help students develop these skills by providing them with opportunities to work with AI tools and to create their own AI-powered products.
Overall, the video is a call for educators to embrace AI as a tool to improve assessment practices. The speakers believe that AI can help us to create assessments that are more meaningful, engaging, and effective for students.
