Abstract
In this webinar, Dr. Sarah Elaine Eaton, explores the potential benefits and drawbacks of using AI in educational assessment. Although AI offers opportunities for efficiency and personalization, ethical considerations, including potential biases, privacy concerns and the risk of undermining academic integrity, need to be addressed.
AI can enhance assessment practices by automating grading and feedback, enabling frequent assessments and providing personalized learning paths. However, AI algorithms can perpetuate biases, struggle to evaluate nuanced responses and raise privacy concerns about student data. Maintaining academic integrity in a technology-driven classroom is crucial, particularly avoiding unreliable and potentially biased AI-text detection tools.
To ensure equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility in AI-powered assessments, it is important to incorporate accessibility and inclusion features for students with disabilities and use diverse and representative training data to minimize bias. This approach aligns with the principles of fairness and equity in AI assessment highlighted in the abstract, promoting a more inclusive learning environment. Ensuring fair and equitable AI-powered assessments requires diverse training data, regular audits for bias and transparency in assessment criteria. Strategies for ethical AI implementation include clear communication with students, data privacy protection, human oversight and ongoing system improvement.
