Clearer. More purposeful. Better aligned. But redesigning an assessment from scratch takes time you don\u2019t always have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This workshop shows you how AI can accelerate and sharpen that process. Working step by step through your own material, you will use AI to develop or refine an assessment task, write student-facing instructions, and build a rubric, all in a single session.<br><br><strong>Duration:<\/strong> 90 minutes<br><strong>Format:<\/strong> In person only<br><strong>Group size:<\/strong> Up to 30 participants<br><strong>Bring along:<\/strong> a laptop or device, plus an existing assessment task or unit learning outcomes to work from<br><strong>Facilitator: <\/strong>A\/Prof David McMeekin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What you\u2019ll do:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The guided session moves through three stages, each building on the last, and you will work on your own assessment at every step:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Assessment design: <\/strong>starting from your learning outcomes or an existing task, you will use AI to shape or reshape the assessment brief, clarifying the task, aligning it to outcomes, and considering what kind of evidence of learning it will generate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Student-facing instructions:<\/strong> you will draft clear, well-structured instructions that help students understand exactly what is expected, reducing ambiguity without giving everything away.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rubric development<\/strong>: you will build or improve a rubric that reflects the assessment design, with criteria and descriptors that capture the learning you care about and are practical to use in marking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By the end of the session, you will have a new or updated assessment, complete with task brief, instructions, and rubric &#8211; developed using AI as a practical design partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Book a session <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"forminator-guttenberg\"><div class=\"forminator-ui forminator-custom-form forminator-custom-form-932 forminator-design--default  forminator_ajax\" data-forminator-render=\"0\" data-form=\"forminator-module-932\" data-uid=\"69e328a83d9df\"><br\/><\/div><form\r\n\t\t\t\tid=\"forminator-module-932\"\r\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"forminator-ui forminator-custom-form forminator-custom-form-932 forminator-design--default  forminator_ajax\"\r\n\t\t\t\tmethod=\"post\"\r\n\t\t\t\tdata-forminator-render=\"0\"\r\n\t\t\t\tdata-form-id=\"932\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-color-option=\"theme\" data-design=\"default\" data-grid=\"open\" style=\"display: none;\"\r\n\t\t\t\tdata-uid=\"69e328a83d9df\"\r\n\t\t\t><div role=\"alert\" aria-live=\"polite\" class=\"forminator-response-message forminator-error\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div><div class=\"forminator-row\"><div id=\"name-1\" class=\"forminator-field-name forminator-col forminator-col-12 \"><div class=\"forminator-field\"><label for=\"forminator-field-name-1_69e328a83d9df\" id=\"forminator-field-name-1_69e328a83d9df-label\" class=\"forminator-label\">Full Name <span class=\"forminator-required\">*<\/span><\/label><input type=\"text\" name=\"name-1\" value=\"\" placeholder=\"\" id=\"forminator-field-name-1_69e328a83d9df\" class=\"forminator-input forminator-name--field\" aria-required=\"true\" autocomplete=\"name\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"forminator-row\"><div id=\"email-1\" class=\"forminator-field-email forminator-col forminator-col-12 \"><div class=\"forminator-field\"><label for=\"forminator-field-email-1_69e328a83d9df\" id=\"forminator-field-email-1_69e328a83d9df-label\" class=\"forminator-label\">Email Address <span class=\"forminator-required\">*<\/span><\/label><input type=\"email\" name=\"email-1\" value=\"\" placeholder=\"\" id=\"forminator-field-email-1_69e328a83d9df\" class=\"forminator-input forminator-email--field\" data-required=\"true\" aria-required=\"true\" autocomplete=\"email\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"forminator-row\"><div id=\"text-1\" class=\"forminator-field-text forminator-col forminator-col-12 \"><div class=\"forminator-field\"><label for=\"forminator-field-text-1_69e328a83d9df\" id=\"forminator-field-text-1_69e328a83d9df-label\" class=\"forminator-label\">Role at Curtin<\/label><input type=\"text\" name=\"text-1\" value=\"\" placeholder=\"\" id=\"forminator-field-text-1_69e328a83d9df\" class=\"forminator-input forminator-name--field\" data-required=\"\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"forminator-row\"><div id=\"textarea-1\" class=\"forminator-field-textarea forminator-col forminator-col-12 \"><div class=\"forminator-field\"><label for=\"forminator-field-textarea-1_69e328a83d9df\" id=\"forminator-field-textarea-1_69e328a83d9df-label\" class=\"forminator-label\">Designing Better Assessments with AI -
