Hi, I thought it’d be interesting to see how the different UC’s address the challenges posed by AI. Here’s AUC’s approach: There is a growing number of university programmes that are moving towards implementing policy to protect their course assessments, and hence the validity of their diplomas against wrong use of generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT. A report recently published by the AUC Taskforce on Generative AI makes it clear that assessment at AUC is also largely vulnerable to the misuse of such tools. The AUC Management Team understands that there is no generic rule that will safeguard validity of assessment for all courses, levels and learning outcomes. At the same time it has the responsibility to put a general framework in place that goes some way to protecting our lecturers from possible invalidation of their assessments. For this reason, the MT instructs lecturers to implement an assessment structure for their courses that includes a minimum of 55% of course assessment to take place in the classroom.
This is a temporary measure to take effect in the academic year 2023-2024, until our community had the time to properly reflect on the challenges posed but also the opportunities created by the presence of generative AI in our education. The MT realises that what teachers ultimately need is time and resources, so that they can come up with the adjustments that fit their own courses and their learning outcomes. For this reason it has also been decided to organise a (class-free) joint educational development week to take place at the start of the autumn semester (from Thursday 7 September until Wednesday 13 September), during which teachers will be given the time and resources to work on rethinking their courses.
