Human-Centred, AI-Assisted
Assessment Development

The Human‑Centred, AI‑Assisted Assessment Development Flow offers a responsible, pedagogically grounded approach to assessment design. It begins with clear learning outcomes and carefully considered decisions about where human judgement or AI support is appropriate, guided by human‑centred AI principles. The process incorporates ethical and integrity checks, human‑led design enhanced by AI, and careful review, piloting, and bias testing to safeguard fairness and academic integrity. Assessments are delivered with ongoing human oversight and AI‑supported analytics, followed by structured reflection and continuous improvement to ensure ethical, learner‑centred practice.
