AI and Assessment Seminars - Essays in the era of LLMs

Thursday 9 October 2025

This new seminar series invites colleagues to share practices around AI and assessment that are transferable, practical, and authentic. The new Sydney Assessment Framework recategorises each assessment according to their role as assessment of, for or as learning and how they are delivered and adjustments are applied. It aligns with the ‘two-lane approach’ to assessment in the age of generative AI through the appropriate use of ‘secure’ assessments where the use of AI can be controlled (Lane 1), and the development disciplinary knowledge, skills, and dispositions alongside AI through ‘open’ assessments (Lane 2). 

In the age of GenAI, you may be worrying or simply wondering, how can I help my students still learn to write in the age of AI? A topic is relevant university-wide to anyone who asks students to write in their submitted assessment tasks, in this seminar, A/Prof Huw Griffiths from the Discipline of English and Writing, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, will guide us to discover possible futures for student writing. As well as an introduction to key issues, we will canvass practical strategies.

With A/Prof Huw Griffiths, Discipline of English and Writing, School of Art, Communication and English
