The Scientia Education Academy is delighted to welcome Deputy Associate Dean (Academic) and Associate Professor, Jason Lodge from The University of Queensland.
Generative AI exploded onto the scene in late 2022 with the release of ChatGPT. The release was accompanied by enormous hype followed closely by a lot of anguish. It was immediately clear that academic integrity is one of the main issues that need to be addressed in light of the development of generative AI. The creation of written artefacts is one of the primary methods used in higher education to draw conclusions about whether students have actually learned what they need to learn. These artefacts can now be generated instantly by a machine at little to no cost and without leaving any observable indication of cheating. So, where does this leave us? In this Scientia Education Lecture, we will discuss the future of educational assessment building on a national forum of assessment and AI experts held in August 2023.
