Generative AI and Assessment in Higher Education
The Assessment in Higher Education (AHE) conference in June 2023 in Manchester UK included over 175 presentations of research or innovative practice in assessment and feedback. Many included aspects of generative AI including products such as ChatGPT (GPT stands for ‘generative pre-trained transformer’) and the keynote speaker, Paul Kleiman famously used the term ‘Chatty G’, which he had recently encountered, to describe these AI products.

Two of the conference ‘mini keynotes’, particularly relevant to Chatty G. Presenters were limited to 7 minutes in this challenging presentation format, but we have included a couple of minutes of questions from the audience. Professor Phill Dawson gives a useful introduction to the big questions around generative AI and assessment and Milena Marakova and Joy Robbins presentation focuses on their evaluation of a useful ‘AI Era’ assignment – the ‘unessay’.
