Beyond Grades in the Age of AI: New Ways to Assess Thinking, Creativity, and Learning

As AI tools reshape how students create, research, and solve problems, traditional grading models are becoming less meaningful.

This course explores practical alternatives including portfolio-based assessment, process documentation, narrative feedback, and AI-aware evaluation strategies.

Designed for educators across disciplines, participants will gain hands-on experience with AI tools, learn to build custom bots and podcasts for classroom use, and leave with concrete approaches they can apply immediately in creative and academic learning environments.

Through case studies, demonstrations, and collaborative exercises, participants will develop the skills to assess what matters most in an AI-integrated world: thinking, creativity, and the learning process itself.
