This involves shifting away from easily automated tasks like traditional essays towards assessments that foreground contextual grounding, process transparency, and evaluative judgement. By embedding tasks in real-world scenarios and requiring reflective justification of creative choices, educators can ensure assessments measure authentic student understanding and ownership of learning. 🔗 Times Higher Education
