Human-Centered Assessment in the Age of AI: Practical Strategies for Faculty
April 23, 2026
12noon to 1:00PM Eastern Time
As generative AI rapidly transforms the higher education landscape, faculty are navigating complex questions about how to assess student learning authentically, ethically, and equitably. This interactive workshop explores how AI can be thoughtfully integrated into the assessment process to enhance academic integrity, promote student success, and reduce faculty workload—without losing sight of human-centered values. This session will introduce assessment design strategies that leverage AI tools for formative evaluation and metacognitive learning—while also addressing how to minimize misuse and uphold inclusive teaching practices. Participants will leave with techniques to reimagine assignments and rubrics in ways that foster deeper learning and support diverse learners.
