AI and Assessment: Knowledge Exchange Forum

Assessment in the age of AI

One year on from the AI and Summative Assessment policy, this Knowledge Exchange Forum is a half-day event for staff across the collegiate University to come together and consider how we think about summative assessment in the age of AI.  

Rather than a focus on AI technologies, as we co-create approaches that work in the Oxford context, we will explore what remains distinctly human about learning in the age of AI and how we can make sure we assess the learning we truly value. 

This is a space to exchange knowledge and changes in practice around summative assessment and institutional policy, while exploring how these changes are playing out in your subject. What conversations are you having with students and your peers? How are expectations of summative assessment shifting? What does meaningful assessment (now) look like in your context and what might it look like in future?  

Keynote: What are we educating students for in the age of GenAI?

The programme features a keynote from Professor Paul Ashwin, Professor of Higher Education, Lancaster University, focussing on: ‘What are we educating students for in the age of GenAI?’  

Paul’s research focuses on the educational role of higher education. His latest co-authored, open-access, book, Realising the Educational Potential of Mass Higher Education, addresses the current disillusionment with mass higher education and argues that it is based on a profound misunderstanding of its educational potential. He is the lead author on Reflective Teaching in Higher Education (2015, 2020, 2025) written by an international team to support the development of research-informed university teaching, joint Editor-in-Chief of the international journal ‘Higher Education,’ and co-editor of two Bloomsbury book series: ‘Understanding Student Experiences of Higher Education’ and ‘Enhancing Reflective Teaching in Higher Education’.
