Retooling Assessment:
Making Learning Visible in an AI World 

Throughout this initiative, we’ll dive into the topics that matter most for 21st-century assessment: 

Transparency and Student Engagement: How TILT (Transparency in Learning and Teaching) principles can transform student buy-in and help learners understand the purpose behind your assessments. 

Alternative Grading Approaches: Explore ungrading, team-based assessment, competency-based evaluation, and standards-based grading that focus on learning rather than sorting. 

Authentic Assessment Design: Move beyond traditional exams and papers toward hands-on, real-world evaluations that mirror professional practice. 

Future-Ready Evaluation: Design assessments that prepare students for an AI-integrated workplace while maintaining academic integrity. 

Scaling Meaningful Assessment: Practical strategies for large enrollment courses that need efficient yet authentic evaluation methods. 

Student Perspectives on AI: Understand how students actually use AI tools and design policies that support rather than punish learning. 

Feedback That Matters: Create assessment experiences that provide meaningful, growth-oriented feedback rather than just grades. 

AI Literacy Development: Help both yourself and your students develop critical competencies for working alongside artificial intelligence. 

Lifelong Learning and Mentoring: Foster a culture of continuous growth by designing assessment practices that encourage reflection, adaptability, and self-directed learning. 

We understand that everyone has varying time commitments and learning preferences, so we’ve designed multiple ways for you to participate: 

Quick Exploration (30 minutes): Jump into a Teaching Spark—focused, online sessions that explore one practical idea you can implement immediately. 

Ongoing Learning (Asynchronous): Access our Resource Library with updated guides, templates, and tools, or listen to podcast episodes featuring faculty success stories and practical strategies. 

Monthly Deep-Dives (1 hour): Attend Tech Bytes for hands-on exploration of specific assessment tools and techniques, or join workshops for collaborative skill-building. 

Conference Learning: Participate in assessment-focused sessions at AI Days, the AI² Summit, Interface and Teaching TechXploration events. 

Reimagining Assessments: Making Learning Visible in the Age of AI Faculty Learning Community to completely redesign your assessment approach while collaborating with colleagues and developing sharable resources for the broader UF community.
