Secure your assessment design with our new GenAI Canvas modules

Many of us still need a more general introduction to using GenAI in learning and teaching before tackling how to develop assessments. Or perhaps you’re just looking for a refresher on the fundamentals of GenAI tools in higher education?

The Education Portfolio have developed this starter course in Canvas: Introduction to Learning and Teaching with GenAI. This collaborative effort was initiated from a portfolio-wide hackathon late last year and has been piloted for feedback with our learning and teaching community, with the finished version now ready for everyone to enrol in.

This module provides an overview of ethics and academic integrity when practicing with GenAI, and is sequenced to build your confidence in understanding and using GenAI tools. It is self-paced with flexible activities to explore and implement in your own context.

Assessment in the Age of GenAI, developed by the Education Portfolio, is a new self-paced Canvas module that equips UTS staff members with effective assessment design strategies and practices in the context of widespread availability of GenAI.

The module is recommended for teaching staff and you can self-enrol by following this link.

In this new Canvas module, you will explore the foundational principles of effective assessment and assurance of learning, and the impact GenAI can have on assessment security.

The module prompts you to reflect on assuring learning and securing assessments in your subject, and includes examples of assessment strategies you could implement.

The module is flexible – you can work through the key information in around 45 minutes or extend your exploration by engaging in suggested further research and activities to try in your own practice. It is aimed at subject coordinators, but all staff members are welcomed and encouraged to enrol.
