If students were persuaded that AI could fairly and accurately assess their ungraded (formative) practice, might faculty be willing and able to provide more opportunities for them to do so? If so, would it make a difference in more high-stakes (summative) assessments like midterm and final exams or assignments? If so, how might faculty best nudge and support students to take advantage of AI-assisted practice?
In this panel presentation, three faculty from three colleges show and tell how and why they are exploring the use of GenAI in formative assessment of student learning. Panelists and uses cases included the following:
- Sarah Bass (Chemistry): use of Google NotebookLM for Chem 101 tutorials and virtual assistance;
- Tim Finin (CSEE): debrief of AI's prior results on his final exam, perhaps as a study guide for current students preparing for his next final exam?;
- John Schumacher (ANTH/SOCY): use of AI to generate case studies and assess student analyses of them.
