May 25, 2025
7:00 – 8:00 pm EDT

Have you been wanting to change the way you assess your students? Are you looking to make your assessments multifaceted and more creative?

Our presenter will demonstrate how students work together and with AI to build the assessment you will use to test their skills during their learning process. She will explain how students can create their own reading or writing text while generative AI can generate comprehension and inference questions to create a more meaningful assessment that will also be a tool students can use for learning.

The key points to be covered are that:

  • you will learn how to curate student-centred activities to generate listening and reading materials,
  • you will learn how to use generative AI in the classroom and for assessment preparation, and
  • you will learn how to create more dynamic assessments.
