Striking the Right Balance: Deploying AI-Resistant Assessments Students Will Actually Love

[@NoodleFactoryvids]

Thank you for joining our session! 🎉 In case you missed the live premiere of the video or you’re rewatching, here’s a quick recap of our top FAQs for this session: Q1: How can we ensure students value the process when they’re often focused on the final grade? A: It’s all about what we prioritise in rubrics. Are we scoring the process as well as the product? Directing attention to the process in feedback and grading helps shift focus away from just the final grade. Q2: What’s the biggest mistake educators make in designing AI-resistant assessments? A: Overvaluing writing tasks (e.g., essays) over authentic assessments. Writing is easily replicated by AI. Focus on tasks that ask students to authentically demonstrate learning through unique and creative means. Q3: How does an AI-integrated approach work for younger students who struggle with abstract thinking? A: Focus on observation-based processes (e.g., observing plant growth, shadow movements, or block structures). Students can describe their findings with teacher or parent guidance, using minimal AI where appropriate. Q4: Could the example shared be used even if students don’t know the assignment content? A: Yes, this could help students explore a topic (e.g., a historical figure) conversationally. Outside of an assignment, it’s a great way for self-directed learning. 💬 Join the Conversation!
