AI in Educational Assessment: Reforming, Redesigning and Reshaping
Conference date: 23 April 2026, 13.30 – 17.00, Online
This conference session will explore how AI is reshaping educational assessment, examining where AI should be integrated, limited, or reconsidered across learning and professional contexts. We consider AI assessment to include a broad range of activities that aim to understand what a candidate knows thinks and can do, both summative and formative. Through real examples and current practice, we will showcase what AI‑enhanced assessment can look like in practice. We will also focus on building capability and confidence for educators and learners, including responsible use, integrity, and detection.
