AI & Competency-Based Assessment in VET
Course
Explore how AI can enhance the quality & efficiency of competency-based assessments
Explore innovative uses of AI to enhance competency-based assessments while addressing compliance, academic integrity, and ethical challenges.
AI is reshaping workplaces and education globally, and the VET sector is no exception. With over 85% of professionals using AI at work and 56% of students leveraging AI tools for assignments, the transformative potential is undeniable. However, less than 10% of workplace AI users follow organisational policies, and academic integrity is at risk as AI-driven plagiarism grows. This webinar will provide strategies to ethically and effectively integrate AI into RTO assessment practices while ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
Why Academic Integrity and Compliance Matter
The integration of AI into assessments poses significant challenges to academic integrity. With 65% of educators concerned about AI-related plagiarism and only half of students perceiving AI use as ethical, the need for clear policies and proactive strategies is critical. By fostering transparency and accountability, RTOs can lead the way in promoting a culture of integrity while leveraging AI to enhance learning and assessment practices.
This webinar provides an in-depth exploration of how AI is reshaping competency-based assessments in the VET sector:
- Mastering the AI Edge: Discover how leveraging AI effectively can enhance training and assessment outcomes while maintaining trust and credibility.
- Safeguarding Academic Integrity: Learn about the ethical challenges AI presents, with recent studies showing a 76% rise in AI-generated student content and increasing concerns about AI-enabled plagiarism.
- Navigating Compliance Gaps: Understand the importance of aligning AI use in assessments with regulatory requirements and organisational policies to mitigate risks.
- Strategic Frameworks: Develop flexible and integrated assessment strategies that align with both technological advancements and compliance standards.
- Practical Recommendations: Gain actionable steps for selecting and implementing AI tools that foster ethical, high-quality outcomes in training and assessments.
