This interactive workshop bridges the foundational concepts of program assessment with the innovative capabilities of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI). Participants explore how tools like ChatGPT can be used to streamline and strengthen assessment practices across disciplines—no prior AI experience required.
Designed for faculty, assessment coordinators, administrators and anyone involved in program assessment, the workshop blends practical demonstrations with guided practice. Participants craft effective prompts, and refine them, to assist with program assessment processes, apply GAI to real assessment tasks and critically evaluate the validity of these AI-generated outputs. Emphasis will also be placed on ethical use, sustainability considerations and proper citation of AI tools.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- Describe the essential components of a program assessment model
- Explain the foundational principles of Generative Artificial Intelligence
- Describe prompt writing techniques
- Utilize Generative AI to support program assessment processes
- Evaluate AI-generated outputs for accuracy, coherence, and validity
- Cite generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT) appropriately
- Understand sustainability and ethical considerations for personal use of GAI
Who Should Attend:
Regardless of discipline, those interested in program assessment and the program assessment process and those interested in learning and using Generative Artificial Intelligence in their program assessment processes.
No prior experience in Generative Artificial Intelligence is needed to attend this workshop but access to your own ChatGPT, or similar tool, will help your learning.
