Introduction

If you have the time and capacity to redesign an assessment or two, read on! What follows is a set of considerations in the form of a step-by-step guidebook. Its purpose is to guide you through developing an engaging, meaningful and relevant assessment that students see value in completing – without the inappropriate use of generative AI – to further their learning, experience and expertise.

The following chapters will take you through the steps of thinking through your alternative assessment where students are invited to use GenAI to complete the task. There are a few more steps to consider than when designing an assessment that does not make use of GenAI. This guidebook will introduce you to these steps, pose questions to help you consider how you will integrate them into your assessment, and provide resources to help you.
