Published:11 October 2023Publication History

ABSTRACT

Technology tools have always been readily available to help students learn. From calculators to search engines to Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, it has always been a challenge for educators to maintain assessments that effectively assess student learning on their merit. Adopting a continuous improvement mindset, reflecting on student outcomes, and utilizing research in assessment development can assist in this process. This paper will make recommendations on how to develop assessments in the world of AI that will promote and effectively assess student learning in Information Technology education.
