Rebalance marking from the assessment product to the process of creating the product, such as “drafts, outlines, or annotated bibliographies” (Hodges & Kirschner, 2024, p. 197). Require students document the process involved in creating the final product (Hodges & Kirschner, 2024). Examples of documentation include: “portfolios, journals, video logs, [and] tracked changes” (Vu et al., 2024b, Slide 6). Students can be required to explain their process, by appending comments in their text files, enabling “Track Changes,” or directly explaining their work process (Butler, 2023).
Weigh tasks that are easily outsourced to AI less heavily.
General accuracy of discipline-specific information and credibility of sources cited should be weighed more heavily.
Other tasks that can be performed by AI at a high level – such as formatting, sentence structure, general grammar, and basic facts – should be weighed less heavily.
Weigh referencing and research more heavily in assessments.
Two areas that should be worth more marks in rubrics: integration of high-quality peer-reviewed sources, and overall correctness of facts (LX Team, 2023a).
