A practical guide to stronger evidence, better accessibility and reduced vulnerability to AI
Aligned with the Clued In Education YouTube series: AI Didn't Break Your Assessment
 
Are your assessment tools measuring competence, or are they measuring a learner’s ability to complete a written task?
 
The Assessment Re-design Workbook is a practical assessment design resource for RTOs. It will help you review and redesign assessment so that learners can demonstrate what they can perform, communicate, decide, explain and apply.
 
Generative AI did not create the weaknesses in VET assessment. It exposed how easily generic written responses can be mistaken for evidence of competence. Long before ChatGPT, learners could copy answers from websites, learning materials, model responses and one another. AI has simply made substitution faster and more convincing.
 
This workbook helps your RTO respond by strengthening assessment design, rather than relying solely on AI-detection software, authenticity declarations or increasingly restrictive assessment conditions.
 
The downloadable workbook contains:
 
clear explanations of practical assessment design principles;
five guided assessment review and redesign activities;
a continuous worked example showing how a generic written assessment can be redesigned;
an assessment vulnerability scan;
a measurement mapping activity;
an assessment method redesign template;
an assessment barrier review;
a seven-step implementation action plan;
an assessment monitoring template; and
a commercial assessment resource review checklist.
 
Will this make assessment AI-proof?
 
No assessment can realistically be guaranteed to be AI-proof. This resource focuses on designing assessment that is less vulnerable to substitution and better able to establish authentic competence.
 
It helps RTOs gather evidence grounded in the learner’s own performance, interaction, decisions and explanations. It also supports more informed decisions about where AI use may be permitted and what learners must demonstrate independently.
 
Take back control of your assessment system.
 
You can outsource assessment development, but you cannot outsource your RTO’s professional judgement or responsibility for assessment quality.
