GenAI is here to stay, but your assessments do not have to become a policing exercise. Join this workshop to experiment with AI‑resilient assessment designs that focus on what really matters: students’ understanding, evaluative judgement and responsible use of AI.

This is part 2 of a two-part assessment workshop series. You are welcome to attend either or both sessions; participation in GenAI and Assessment (part 1): Understanding the Impact is not required but recommended.

Course details

In this workshop, you will work with colleagues to (re)think assessment in a context where students have access to GenAI. Drawing on ideas such as supervised and unsupervised assessment, we will explore different ways to keep assessments reliable, valid and feasible, while making responsible space for AI where this supports your learning outcomes. Together, you will examine and adapt example tasks and elements of your own assessments to strengthen AI‑resilience, ensure credible evidence of student learning, and integrate GenAI transparently into students’ workflows when it can foster judgement, critical evaluation and AI literacy.

The session is interactive and practice-oriented. It combines short inputs with small-group discussions and hands-on work on your own assessment.
We will talk about multiple platforms and GenAI tools, and we will ask you to use GenAI yourself. UvA AI Chat is freely available to all UvA staff, but you can choose which platform you prefer to use. A significant part of the workshop is dedicated to applying ideas directly to one of your own assessments, with feedback from peers.

Intended learning outcome

By the end of this workshop teachers will

evaluate existing assessments in their course using the two-lane assessment framework and justify decisions on where GenAI use should be allowed, restricted, or redesigned;
identify and compare a broader range of assessment formats and design options, and select combinations that better fit their learning outcomes and the realities of GenAI‑rich student practice;
redesign an existing assessment task to be AI-resilient while ensuring validity and demonstrating student learning.

Frequently asked questions

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is designed for university teachers and coordinators who (co-)design or grade assessments, in any discipline. It is aimed at individual teachers who want to learn and develop their skills around assessment practices, who want to participate in assessment discussions with your teams in a more informed way, and is not limited to those who have decision making responsibilities.

Do I need to have experience with Generative AI (GenAI)?

No. The workshop is suitable for both beginners and more experienced users. We focus on concrete teaching and assessment examples rather than technical details.

Do I need to bring one of my own assessments?

Yes, it is helpful if you bring (or can access) one current assessment task (e.g. assignment brief, exam, rubric). We will use this as a case for discussion and “AI resilience” testing.

What is the difference between part 1 and part 2?

Part 1 focuses on understanding how GenAI affects assessment, identifying vulnerabilities in your current assessment, and clarifying what you really want to measure.
Part 2 focuses on redesign: turning those insights into concrete changes to your assessment design.

Do I have to attend part 1 in order to join part 2?

No. You can attend either or both sessions. Part 2 will briefly recap key concepts, but you may get more out of it if you have already explored your current assessment in part 1.

Do I need to have any prior knowledge for this workshop?

Not formally, but it is designed for teachers who have already done some work to determine the impact of GenAI on their assessment. The intention is to get straight into solutions for the challenges/opportunities you have found. If you have not done this, or need support in this area, we recommend you attend part 1 first.
