You have just finished marking a batch of non-secure Lane 2 assessments. The averages were much better than previous years, with most quite well-written, structurally sound, and surprisingly polished. But a thought lingers: did the students actually learn anything, or are you just marking AI-generated work?
You are not alone. Across the sector, educators are discovering that non-secure Lane 2 assessments demand more deliberate and specific design and marking to surface genuine learning. This workshop takes you through assessing and marking written assessments where GenAI is allowed!
Duration: 90 minutes
Format: interactive, hands-on, in-person
Group size: Up to 30 participants
Bring along: a current Lane 2 assessment task and rubric
Facilitator: Raelene Tifflin
The workshop is built around three learning signals that indicate whether a student has engaged with the learning materials. You will explore each signal through real examples, then apply what you have learned to explore how to mark Lane 2 written assessment tasks.
- Conceptual Grasp: work through task examples where GenAI was and was not used to distinguish deep understanding from surface reproduction. Then pull apart rubric criteria to find where this signal is present, absent, or buried in vague language.
- Evaluative Judgement: examine how assessment prompts cue or fail to cue critical decision-making and strengthen tasks so they require students to weigh evidence and defend their positions. Refine your rubric descriptors with precise language and evidence markers to capture this signal reliably.
- Contextual Expansion: test whether tasks genuinely require students to transfer and adapt knowledge to unfamiliar scenarios or whether they simply reward recall. Redesign for creative adaptation and anchor your rubric to performance benchmarks that reflect genuine application.
The session closes with a short peer feedback round where you will share your strongest rubric improvement with the group.
