For me, this root definition has reinforced my thoughts about the role of the educator and the role of assessment in learning in the time of AI. GenAI is changing the way we assess learning and is opening conversations around authentic assessment of learning, alternative grading, and the role of the educator. Using personal experiences and evidence-based approaches, Claire will explore the big topics of assessing and evaluating learning in an AI-world, and the role of relationships in supporting the learning process. This presentation will discuss these broad themes and provide time to connect them to an RPL/PLAR context.
