Special Issue Call for Proposals: Integrating Generative AI in the Design of Assessment.
We are excited to announce a special issue of New Directions for Teaching and Learning (New Directions for Teaching and Learning – Wiley Online Library), dedicated to exploring the integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Generative AI) in the design of assessment. Generative AI has the potential to create various types of content, including text, images, audio, video, and it holds great promise in changing the way assessment is done.
This special issue aims to bring together original research and theoretical papers that explore the successful integration of Generative AI in assessment design in educational contexts. This special issue offers an opportunity to advance our understanding of the impact of Generative AI integration on education.
Call for Proposals:
We welcome proposals for original research articles and theoretical papers that explore the potential of integrating Generative AI in the design of assessment. Topics for this theme include (but are not limited to):
- Reasons to include Generative AI in the design of assessment
- Equity in assessment and Generative AI
- AI literacy and assessment design
- Integrating AI in the design of assessment in the different disciplines (creative disciplines, humanities, STEM disciplines, etc.)
- Academic integrity and Generative AI integration
- Using Generative AI in distance education assessment
- Policies and guidance related to integrating Generative AI in assessment design
- Generative AI and feedback
Audience:
Although chapters may concentrate on a single discipline or course, it is important to bear in mind that the audience for this collection will have an interdisciplinary background. Hence, it is imperative to provide ample context to ensure that your content can be comprehended by an external audience and potentially utilized in their respective courses or disciplines.
