Is your school or institution ready for AI integration?
Generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Copilot are no longer on the horizon—they’re already being used by students, potentially in ways that challenge traditional assessments. This raises urgent questions about academic integrity, learning outcomes, and the future of teaching and testing.
In this practical half-day training, your team will:
- Examine the real impact of AI on your current assessment practices
- Test and explore AI’s capabilities in your own context
- Start shaping a shared, realistic approach to AI in education
Whether you see AI as a threat or an opportunity, this session helps you move beyond doubt—towards clear, informed decision-making.
About the session
| 6-20 participants optimal | on-site | no technical knowledge required |
This workshop is an active session in which we will engage in hands-on activities designed to foster awareness and stimulate discussion. Our approach is objective, though it may also offer a reality check.
The training has two key aims:
- To explore together whether ChatGPT/Copilot genuinely threatens your current assessment policies and the (written) tests you use today.
- To initiate a shared vision for the role of AI in your educational practice.
By the end of the training, your team will:
- Understand how ChatGPT/Copilot is already influencing assessment practices
- Experience the strengths and weaknesses of AI-generated student work
- Collaborate in finding practical alternatives to vulnerable assessments
- Gain actionable insights and tips for responsible AI use in your school
This session can take place at your school or another suitable location with facilities for both plenary and group work.
Structure of the session
The workshop is structured around the following components (click on the titles to read more):
Introduction: Take a stance!
Participants are introduced to the objectives and to each other. Through a series of provocative statements, they are invited to take a stance and start the conversation.
Assignment: “Hack the system!”
In small groups, participants are asked to test the robustness of their current assessments. Their task is to let ChatGPT/Copilot do as much of the work as possible to complete these assessments effectively.
Research insights
Findings from current research on ChatGPT/Copliot use in education will be shared. These serve to frame the results of the previous assignment and provide context for the next one.
Assignment: “Change the system!”
Participants develop alternative forms of assessment that are less susceptible to fraud and may even utilize AI in a transparent manner.
Discussion
We reflect on any remaining questions and work towards shaping a personal and collective vision for AI use in your educational setting.
Where needed, we offer practical suggestions to improve the output of ChatGPT/Copilot or to refine alternative assessment formats—this includes tips for prompt engineering.
In this way, the workshop also contributes directly to participants’ AI literacy.
Testimonial
“During the training ‘AI and its impact on assessment in education‘, Benno has guided teachers through this subject in a clear and structured way. By means of concrete assignments that could be carried out on the spot and by providing a theoretical framework with up-to-date sources, participants became aware of both the problems and the opportunities that AI offers in higher arts education. The urgency of this topic is once again clearly in everyone’s mind!” – Study program coordinator Codarts Conservatory Rotterdam
Original testimonial in Dutch (click to show/hide)
“Benno heeft tijdens de training … ‘Impact van AI op toetsing’ op een duidelijke en gestructureerde manier docenten meegenomen in deze materie. D.m.v. concrete opdrachten die on the spot uitgevoerd konden worden en het bieden van een theoretisch kader met actuele bronnen zijn deelnemers zich bewust geworden van zowel de problemen als de mogelijkheden die AI in het hoger kunstonderwijs biedt. De urgentie van dit onderwerp staat bij iedereen weer helder op het netvlies!”
Preparation
Prior to the workshop, we schedule a meeting to tailor the session to your context. This conversation will address both practical and content-related aspects.
Content-related aspects include the main purpose your institution hopes to achieve with this workshop, so we can incorporate this into the introduction, the discussion, and the guidance and tips offered during the session?
Practical-related aspects include preferred date and time, number of participants, accessibility of the location, and practical requirements for the session
Practical requirements (click to show/hide)
- Reliable internet access (WiFi or 4G/5G)
- Devices (can be participants’ own) with access to ChatGPT/Copilot (ChatGPT preferably with a few premium accounts if available)
- Projector or digital whiteboard with HDMI input (sound not required; the trainer will bring a laptop)
- Tables (at least one per 4–5 participants, plus one extra)
- Chairs (one per participant)
- Flip chart paper (at least one sheet per 4–5 participants, plus one extra)
- Markers and pens (each participant should have at least one pen; each flip chart sheet should have at least two markers)
Note: The room should be accessible at least 30 minutes before the start of the session to allow time for setup and testing of the equipment.
