In this Level 3 Adopting lesson, you will explore how technology is transforming assessment practice and how generative AI is accelerating that change. You'll examine how digital tools enable embedded, adaptive and accessible assessment, and how the five pillars of authentic assessment can guide your redesign.
You'll then unpack the impact of generative AI on assessment integrity and explore practical strategies for working with AI rather than against it—including staged, process-oriented assessment that values learning over final products. Finally, you'll use generative AI to rapidly build rubrics, generate feedback and streamline grading so you can focus on what matters most: supporting learner growth.
Supports the Standards for RTOs 2025 by strengthening the validity, reliability and fairness of your assessments. Using technology and AI strategically helps you collect richer evidence, provide timely feedback and design assessments that mirror authentic workplace tasks and conditions.
Who Should Take This Course
This course is ideal for:
- VET trainers/assessors and school teachers designing or reviewing assessment tasks and rubrics
- Assessment coordinators and learning designers responsible for quality and innovation in assessment
- Educators wanting practical strategies for integrating generative AI into assessment design and feedback
- Leaders exploring how to support staff and students through the shift to technology-enabled and AI-informed assessment
By the end of this
lesson, you will be able to:
- Explain how technology is transforming assessment (occurrence, accessibility, pathways, feedback, question types).
- Apply the five pillars of authentic assessment to design realistic, collaborative and ongoing evaluation tasks.
- Evaluate your current assessments against the impact of generative AI and identify where redesign is needed.
- Design staged, process-oriented assessments that use AI as a learning tool while building critical thinking and evidence of student work.
- Use generative AI to create rubrics, generate feedback and streamline grading for objective and subjective tasks.
Note: Access is granted for 3 months from the date of enrolment.
