In mid-May, we hosted an "AI and Assessment Design" seminar, during which Professor Phillip DAWSON provided us with the principles and propositions for assessment design in the age of generative AI. Moving forward, we aspire to explore an alternative to traditional assessment to emphasise human capabilities and mitigate the risks of AI-generated content. Authentic assessment holds a promising prospect in this regard.

Authentic assessment acknowledges the authentic skills, practices, and tools that students will need in their future professions. While authentic assessment is not a new idea, we need to rethink it in the digital world, particularly in the age of AI. Nowadays, students use and live with digital technology: AI is a part of our everyday life in higher education. How could we design authentic assessment tasks in the digital world?
