Transforming assessment in the age of GenAI for future-ready graduates. CPCECPR Conference 2024: Transforming Education to Build a Future-Ready Workforce. CPCE Centre for Pedagogic Research, Hong Kong, 20 April 2024.

Abstract
The rapid progression of Generative AI has upended higher education. Over the past year, educational institutions around the world have been wrestling with the decision of whether to modify their assessment tasks and practices, and if so, how to effectively implement these changes. This keynote will present potential strategies for assessment redesign and share insights from assessment tasks gathered during the first semester of the current academic year. It will highlight the key features of the revised tasks and identify emerging patterns; and discuss the challenges and dilemmas that frontline teachers encounter during the process of contemplating, planning, and executing assessments in the era of Generative AI. The presentation will explore the potential application of Generative AI in iterative or informal assessments, and examine the learning objectives of assessments that could equip students with the necessary skills for the future workplace. To underscore these key points, authentic examples will be provided throughout the discussion.
