ABSTRACT

Chapter 4 delves into the transformation of assessment methodologies in higher education, driven by advancements in GenAI. Tracing the evolution of assessment from its traditional roots, the chapter underscores the challenges and innovations brought forth in both pre-GenAI and GenAI contexts. As GenAI offers dynamic, adaptive assessment and feedback mechanisms, the chapter emphasises the paramount importance of maintaining educational principles such as authenticity, integrity, and genuine learning. Introducing the Six Assessment Redesign Pivotal Strategies (SARPS) and the AI Assessment Integration Framework, the chapter highlights nine distinct assessment types tailored for the GenAI era. However, a critical message conveyed is that GenAI should be “co-”, not replace, the human touch in education. The chapter concludes by advocating for a holistic, learner-centric approach to assessment, prioritising feedback and genuine learning experiences over mere grades.
