Presentation Type:Virtual Presentation
With the advent of intelligent Bots such as chat GPT from OpenAI, the ability to generate detailed, unique and technically correct manuscripts is becoming commonplace. The bot-generated manuscript has passed the Turing challenge as it is indistinguishable from a human-generated version, true for both the sciences and the arts. Given that a submitted manuscript is convincing but could have been written by the student, a machine or a combination of the two an essay-based submission can no longer be graded on Face value. Invigilated Examination mitigates concerns for academic integrity but can be unpopular with students who often prefer coursework. However, some exam elements are generally required to meet learning outcomes and the rigors of accreditation bodies. Sensible combinations of examination along with coursework backed up by in-person verification and validation are required. The methodologies adopted should not be burdensome for staff or students and form a seamless part of the teaching exercise. This work looks at the alternative assessment strategies necessary in HE to continue to guarantee academic integrity whilst simultaneously ensuring student satisfaction.
