The scientific evidence on AI use in higher education is still emerging, but it suggests that AI can have both positive and negative impacts on student outcomes. By examining the research on AI use, educators can develop more effective assessment strategies and promote more equitable learning environments.
The widespread use of generative AI in higher education highlights the need for institutions to adapt to changing student learning strategies and assessment methods.
By developing AI-literate assessment strategies, promoting digital literacy and media literacy, fostering a culture of academic integrity, and developing holistic approaches to student assessment, educators can create more effective and equitable learning environments. This requires a nuanced understanding of AI use, its impact on academic integrity, and the development of new assessment strategies that value critical thinking and creativity.
