Digital Assessment in the Artificial Intelligence Age
Outline:
Introduction (250 words)
Theories of Learning and Assessment (800 words)
01. Theories of Learning:
Behaviourism
Cognitivism
Constructivism
02. Assessment:
Define assessment
Functions of assessment: summative and formative
Define summative assessment and provide examples
Define formative assessment and provide examples
In this section, you need to critically evaluate the summative and formative dimensions of assessment in the light of the theories of learning discussed above, especially with regard to Constructivism.
Digital Assessment (400 words)
Define digital assessment
Provide examples of digital assessment (techniques and tools)
Critically evaluate the benefits and challenges (for example, one-size-fits-all) of digital assessments
From Abstract: In this regard, digital assessment is often seen as providing a more efficient way of conducting assessment activities, by automating various aspects of the assessment process. However, digital technologies have the potential to achieve much more than simply provide a digital version of standardised assessment tasks that can be completed offline.
Artificial Intelligence for Digital Assessment (1200 words)
Define Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Discuss the key characteristics of AI, these being ‘autonomous’ and ‘adaptive’ (hence personalised assessment, self-regulation, differentiated teaching and learning, individualised feedforward (which is forward-looking information to improve teaching and learning – like feedback but looking at the future), real-time feedforward, etc.) and how these relate to the theories of learning and functions of assessment described above.
In particular, critically analyse how these two characteristics, these being autonomous and adaptive, address the challenges of traditional and digital assessment discussed above.
Discuss the implications of AI for digital assessment
Discuss the challenges of using AI digital assessment
Conclusion (350 words)
