About this Workshop

The Using Generative AI Tools and Techniques for Program Assessment 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.

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.
