09 May 2025 - Student Use of GenAI in a 3000-Level Group Assessment (SHS)
Dr Karen Ray (Lecturer, School of Health Sciences) discussed her experiences with allowing students to use generative artificial intelligence in the completion of an assessment task in her 3rd year Occupational Therapy course (approx. 80 students).
Karen discussed the ways in which students were permitted to use GenAI in the task and highlighted the importance of clear conversations with her students. She noted the benefit of highlighting the importance of GenAI literacy in the context of employment in the discipline, as well as being transparent about her own learning curve with the emerging technology.
