The document discusses scaling up assessment for learning (AfL) through the use of technology. It covers using MOOCs and peer assessment in online courses, with automated feedback and peer reviews. While peer assessment can be moderately reliable, students gain more from providing rather than receiving peer feedback. Technology allows for audio, video and personalized feedback at scale. However, simply adding technology without improving assessment design is flawed. Scaling up AfL requires leadership, incentives, communities of practice and staff development to enhance design and develop student understanding of quality.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. Scaling up Assessment for
Learning
CITERS 2017, June 9
Professor David Carless
University of Hong Kong
The University of Hong Kong
2. Overview
• Assessment for learning (AfL)
• AfL & MOOCs
• Peer feedback & technology
• Leadership & communities of practice
The University of Hong Kong
4. Chapter 1: Scaling up AfL: Progress & prospects
(Carless)
Chapter 14: How does Technology enable Scaling
up AfL? (Dawson & Henderson)
The University of Hong Kong
5. AfL definition
Assessment for which the
first priority is promoting students’
learning (Black et al., 2004)
Cf. Formative assessment
Learning-oriented assessment
(Carless, 2007, 2015a)
The University of Hong Kong
6. Interlinked AfL strategies
1. Productive assessment design
2. Students making judgments
3. Effective feedback processes
4. Developing student appreciation of quality
(Carless, 2017)
The University of Hong Kong
7. Scaling up (Coburn, 2003)
Spread
Depth
Sustainability
Shifts in ownership
The University of Hong Kong
8. Why scale-up AfL?
Research evidence
(Black & Wiliam, Hattie)
Dissatisfaction with current assessment &
feedback practices
The University of Hong Kong
9. Black & Wiliam (1998)
Formative assessment & learning gains
Effect sizes: 0.4 - 0.7
… But implementation is generally weak
The University of Hong Kong
12. MOOC Assessment design
Alignment of goals, activities & low-stakes
assessment
MC quizzes + automated
feedback
Higher order thinking?
The University of Hong Kong
13. Peer assessment
Peer reviewed assignments + detailed
rubrics as key feature of MOOCs
(Admiraal et al, 2015; Huisman et al., 2016)
The University of Hong Kong
14. Reliability of PA
Moderate reliability of peer assessment
(Admiraal et al., 2015)
Use of multiple peer assessments to
mitigate variance in judgments (Hew, 2016)

15. Peer feedback for learning
Learners gain more from composing than
receiving peer feedback (Nicol et al., 2014)

21. Sustainable feedback
Students generating & using feedback from
peers or self as part of self-regulated
learning (Carless et al., 2011)
The University of Hong Kong
28. Enhancing design
Adding technology to existing design &
expecting improvements is flawed
Invest in improved assessment & feedback
designs to leverage gains from technology
