AI Output Evaluated

In this Lane on the NIC AI Assessment Scale, instructors want students to develop a deeper level of engagement with course materials, undertake more independent learning and develop skills involved in evaluating the information produced in this AI era. Instructors would match up assessments with this laneway when they want to see student analyses of AI results, comparisons of other data sources, exploring what is true and not true, etc.
Listed below are some guidelines outlining how the the use of Lane 5 – AI Output Evaluated may be applied
- The assessment requires use of AI to generate content and then you must critically evaluate it for accuracy, bias and citations while building your evaluative judgment skills.
- This lane is suitable for assessments that require you to discern accuracy, identify biases and assess the reliability of the sources.
- AI may be used to construct outlines, perform searches, create draft notes, design slides, undertake analyses of data, suggest counter arguments, summarize literature, etc.
- AI may complete some of the parts of the assessment and then you must discuss the results and make decisions about what is accurate, useful and relevant to the assessment.
- You may be required to include a reflective paragraph detailing which technologies and where in your assessment you used AI.
