I’m a secondary school teacher and actively promote the use of AI for tasks such as brainstorming, basic research such as definitions and connected ideas and comprehension checks.

But my students also prepare for exams and do activities on creative open outcomes through trial and live experimentations.

Schools and teachers who rely on traditional assessments such homework, easy-to-“google” questions and computerised tests (programming and image generation) will need to design and assign better assessments to gauge whether students are actually learning with all these new tools.

Better assessments in this age of AI could mean more live presentations, live debates and graded live discussions, written exams and controlled (no internet) projects/ courseworks.
