Design for best-practice and to avoid hazard posed by GenAI

Correctly distinguish between being able to do something and knowing how and why to do something.

Knowledge evidence underpins performance and traditionally, proof of this has been assessed in ways that are now coming under fire by generative AI. Aside from issues of potential inauthenticity of VET assessment, find out about other elements of design that can undermine the quality of assessment of unit knowledge evidence requirements.

Join this session to see the do’s and don’ts of knowledge evidence assessments. We’ll look at:

  • Principles of robust, reliable knowledge instruments in VET assessment tools

  • Ways to ensure evidence collected is valid

  • Factors that undermine the compliance of the tool

  • Impacts of generative AI in knowledge assessment design - and how to mitigate

  • Common errors in KE assessment design - and how to avoid them


The Assessment Tool Design Master Class series draws on Michelle’s extensive experience as a VET assessment development and pre-use validation expert. The same expertise called on by some of VET's biggest providers to support quality in their own operations.

Pitched at intermediate level to support people who develop and/or validate assessment tools, the series brings us six (6) sessions about the do’s and don’ts of vital components:

  1. Assessment mapping document

  2. Assessment marking guide design 

  3. Observation checklists

  4. Knowledge evidence assessment

  5. Performance evidence assessment (including Foundation Skills)

  6. Instruments to allow evidence collected by other parties for assessor judgement

Each session will run for approximately 45-60 minutes including audience Q&A
