Rubrics, Assessment and eProctoring in Education

Students have failed assignments because teachers believe a bot did the work.

Turnitin claims its device is 98% accurate but some institutions are concerned about not having enough time to make a decision

Next week, Turnitin's AI text detection tool will go live - and the news is causing widespread consternation (and, dare I say it, panic) across the sector.

Five high school students helped our tech columnist test a ChatGPT detector coming from Turnitin to 2.1 million teachers. It missed enough to get someone in trouble.

A topper's story of endurance and sacrifice offers a glimpse into a highly competitive exam.

From the outset, I just want to make clear that there is nothing particularly clever or innovative about my assessment design. Many talented academic and learning design colleagues could no doubt take what I will discuss here and improve it markedly.

I hated sitting exams at school and university.

In the United States, we have a primary and secondary education system that is unequal because of historic and contemporary laws and policies.

Over half of essays written by people were wrongly flagged as AI-made, with implications for students and job applicants

Raising a child in South Korea is no easy task. By the time their toddlers can walk, many parents have already begun scouting out elite private preschools.

Compulsory tests, essays, regular grades and timed exams are considered a given in university life. But the Universities Accord should change this.

Academics have warned that students could be falsely accused of using the AI bot to write essays and complete coursework.

Think "international manhunt" and the image that likely springs to mind is that of a hardened criminal like a murderer, bank robber or billion-dollar fraudster -- not the middle-aged boss of a high school tuition center.

The world is at a “seatbelt moment” with machine learning as it was when the basic safety device was imposed on the car industry in the 1960s and 70s, but so far, no one is installing the seat belts.

ChatGPT is smart enough to pass prestigious graduate-level exams -- though not with particularly high marks.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in an interview that the company will work on tech like watermarking to prevent plagiarism but warns it won't be perfect.

We need to embrace the use of AI in higher education because the positives can far outweigh the negatives.
