Making Learning Visible in the Age of GenAI – The Fifth Element | 8 July

As part of UTS’s Mosaic approach to assessment integrity in the age of GenAI, this interactive workshop introduces a powerful “fifth element”: making student learning visible.

While GenAI has intensified concerns about academic integrity, it has also surfaced a longer-standing challenge – much of students’ learning remains invisible to us. We often assess polished final products, while the processes of thinking, drafting, feedback, and change of mind remain hidden.

Drawing from Winstone, et al’s (2026) recent article, this 90-minute session focuses on a practical design shift: creating “windows onto learning.” Rather than relying on detection or policing, we will explore how assessment can capture meaningful evidence of student learning as it unfolds—supporting both integrity and authentic learning.

In this workshop, you will:

• Review one of your own assessment tasks (bring a task brief)
• Identify what is currently visible – and what remains hidden – from the marker
• Explore a range of “windows” that reveal students’ learning processes
• Design one feasible, discipline-relevant approach to make learning more visible in your context

You will leave with a concrete idea you can apply to an existing task, as well as a broader set of design options for future assessment.

The workshop is highly interactive, combining individual reflection, paired discussion, and small-group feedback. It is suitable for academic staff across all disciplines, whether you are exploring incremental changes or thinking about larger assessment redesign.

This is not about redesigning everything. It is about changing what you can see—so you can better support and assess student learning in a GenAI-enabled environment.
