Expert panel discusses best practices for assessments in the context of GenAI
How assessment choices support learning and academic integrity
The Manitoba Flexible Learning Hub will host an inter-institution panel discussion, Friday, November 22, on best practices in assessment for post-secondary instructors, focusing on how the introduction of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) gives us an opportunity to reflect and change.
An Opportunity to Recalibrate: Aligning with Best Practices in Assessment to Support Learning in the Context of GenAI panel will provide post-secondary instructors from across the province the opportunity to engage in dialogue about assessment, academic integrity and GenAI.
The panel discussion is open to all UM instructional staff as part of the Manitoba Flexible Learning Hub partnership. These intra-institution panels allow sharing of expertise between publicly funded post-secondary institutions in Manitoba on online teaching and learning topics. Previous panel topics include the trauma-informed teaching panel, which was held earlier this year.
The event, presented via Zoom, includes MB Hub partners panelists from Assiniboine College, Brandon University, Red River College Polytech, and a guest from Medicine Hat College.
