CPD Drop: STEM Community Live - AI in assessment

By Tim Bradbury posted 07-05-2025 10:06

  

Its CPD Drop time, and this week - in advance of episode 3 of our AI Sprint season on Thursday, we have AI in Assessment!

Assessment is one of the most transformative areas where artificial intelligence is beginning to reshape the educational landscape. As AI tools become more sophisticated, educators are starting to explore how these technologies can improve the way we measure learning—making it more personalised, efficient and meaningful for both teachers and learners.

In this thought-provoking session, Daisy Christodoulou (an influential voice in educational assessment) and Lord Jim Knight (a passionate advocate for education reform) delve into the evolving role of AI in assessment. Together, they examine how AI-driven tools can support formative and summative assessment, highlight student progress in real time, and reduce the administrative burden on teachers. Their discussion also raises important questions about fairness, ethics, and the role of human judgment in the era of machine-assisted learning.
