AI’s effect on grading, assessment, and course evaluation

A Watermark-sponsored report by The Chronicle of Higher Education

If a machine can design a course and grade an essay, what happens to the professor?

While AI offers a lifeline for overworked faculty, it also poses an existential threat to higher education at a time when enrollment and finances are already under fire. Whether you see it as a breakthrough for student learning or a strike against the heart of teaching, one thing is certain: AI is now unavoidable.

Sponsored by Watermark, this Insights Report from The Chronicle of Higher Education looks at how:

  • AI is currently being adopted, from course design to student assessments.
  • Colleges can guide responsible use among faculty and staff.
  • Various areas traditionally requiring human connection are being impacted on campus.
  • Higher ed can maintain its human touch while making the best use of AI.

Today’s students are arriving on campus having used these tools for years. The technology is moving forward, whether we’re ready or not. Will your institution lead the change or be left behind?
