Authentic Assessment with AI - Webinar
Nov. 8th, 1pm EST
Join us Wednesday Nov. 8th @ 1pm EST for this informative webinar where our panel will discuss authentic assessment in the age of AI.
AI has the power to not only supercharge innovation in schools, but also shine a bright light on what is wrong with much of modern day education: a lack of learner agency and empowerment. AI reinforces the need for a learner’s “process” to be documented, shared, and celebrated.
In this session we’ll explore the culture, technology, and structures needed to give learners agency in their own process documentation and evidence collection. We will also examine the Scott Center for Social Entrepreneurship as a practical case study in AI and education.
Key takeaways from this webinar include:
How to successfully utilize AI for student projects
The role of reflection, pause, and metacognition in schools.
How is process documentation a superpower in deeper learning
Presented as part of our AI Launchpad: Webinar Series for Educators.
