• Authors: Mike Perkins, Leon Furze, Jasper Roe, Jason MacVaugh,
• Abstract summary: We outline a practical, simple, and sufficiently comprehensive tool to allow for the integration of GenAI tools into educational assessment. The AI Assessment Scale (AIAS) empowers educators to select the appropriate level of GenAI usage in assessments. By adopting a practical, flexible approach, the AIAS can form a much-needed starting point to address the current uncertainty and anxiety regarding GenAI in education.

• Abstract: Recent developments in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) have created a paradigm shift in multiple areas of society, and the use of these technologies is likely to become a defining feature of education in coming decades. GenAI offers transformative pedagogical opportunities, while simultaneously posing ethical and academic challenges. Against this backdrop, we outline a practical, simple, and sufficiently comprehensive tool to allow for the integration of GenAI tools into educational assessment: the AI Assessment Scale (AIAS). The AIAS empowers educators to select the appropriate level of GenAI usage in assessments based on the learning outcomes they seek to address. The AIAS offers greater clarity and transparency for students and educators, provides a fair and equitable policy tool for institutions to work with, and offers a nuanced approach which embraces the opportunities of GenAI while recognising that there are instances where such tools may not be pedagogically appropriate or necessary. By adopting a practical, flexible approach that can be implemented quickly, the AIAS can form a much-needed starting point to address the current uncertainty and anxiety regarding GenAI in education. As a secondary objective, we engage with the current literature and advocate for a refocused discourse on GenAI tools in education, one which foregrounds how technologies can help support and enhance teaching and learning, which contrasts with the current focus on GenAI as a facilitator of academic misconduct.

  Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) offers opportunities to revolutionise teaching and learning in Computing Education (CE) However, educators have expressed concerns that students may over-rely on GenAI and use these tools to generate solutions without engaging in the learning process. This paper describes our experiences with using GenAI in CS-focused educational settings and the changes we have implemented accordingly in our teaching.

  This review examines the relationship between Generative AI (GenAI) and agency in education, analyzing the literature available through the lens of Critical Digital Pedagogy. We conducted an AI-supported hybrid thematic analysis that revealed three key themes: Control in Digital Spaces, Variable Engagement and Access, and Changing Notions of Agency. The findings suggest that while GenAI may enhance learner agency through personalization and support, it also risks exacerbating educational inequalities and diminishing learner autonomy in certain contexts.
