Make Knowing the Goal: Designing with AI | 3 June

Generative AI makes it easy for students to produce polished work.

So, the real question is what our assessments compel students to know and be able to do.

Join Associate Professor Daniela Spanjaard as she argues for epistemic design in which assessments and tutorial activities require students to apply and justify their knowledge, rather than merely generate answers.

In a postgraduate marketing subject, a fictional, non-searchable case organisation is revealed through staged briefings and supported by AI-generated data and structured activities, shifting the emphasis to students’ context-sensitive knowing. AI is positioned as a learning partner for explaining concepts and comparing options, while students still must evaluate evidence, navigate uncertainty, and tie claims to case specifics. The takeaway is not to ban AI, but to design learning that reflects professional practice and strengthens critical knowing.
