Digital Learning Week | What's Haunting Our Assessments: A Hopeful Case for Life After the Zombie Essay

AI didn't break assessment. It exposed what was already broken. In this presentation, John Nash makes an evidence-based case for what real learning looks like when assignments like the take-home essay (that zombie that keeps walking up to the gate long after it stopped measuring anything) finally rests, and for what replaces it: assignments that show how students think, ask them to do something real, and let them demonstrate their learning out loud. It closes with the un-AI-able fundamentals that belong at the center of what we measure and reframes assessment as a design problem, not a compliance one. It's a hopeful, honest take for a room that's heard enough AI alarm.

S This is an instructor focused workshop and only faculty/staff or GTAs may enroll.
