Abstract

The continued development of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) has caused tertiary education to review and evaluate their assessment practices. At Auckland University of Technology (AUT), we have taken a whole-of-institution approach to the systematic integration of generative AI into assessment design.

This work is grounded in a new set of Assessment Principles, Policy and Procedures that provide a foundation on which to build a sustainable approach to the integration of generative AI into assessment and feedback design. Alongside the policy, a framework has been created to enable teaching staff to make informed short and longer-term decisions about assessment design.

In this short paper, we aim to showcase our approach by focusing on three areas: (1) exploring the broader contexts related to generative AI and its influence on our work at AUT, (2) detailing our specific responses to generative AI and assessment that align with institutional strategy, and (3) anticipating future opportunities and challenges in implementing our approach at scale.
