AI in Education & Assessment Design

From unreliable detection to intelligent task design

Artificial intelligence is already part of how students research, write, structure and revise their work. The key question is therefore not only whether AI has been used, but whether assignments, exams and assessment criteria still reveal what we actually want to evaluate.

I support educational institutions in redesigning tasks, exam questions, seminar and project assignments so that subject knowledge, source work, reasoning, judgement and reflection remain visible — with or despite AI.

Formats include online impulse sessions, half-day seminars and full-day workshops for teachers, lecturers, programme leaders, examination teams and continuing education units.

Services include:

• moving from AI detection to intelligent task design
• designing exam questions and assignments that make thinking visible
• developing assessment criteria for AI-informed learning environments
• understanding AI: functionality, strengths, blind spots, biases and limits
• supporting institutions in clarifying their approach to AI in teaching and assessment

My approach combines more than three decades of teaching and adult education, assessment experience at the Institute for Medical Education at the University of Bern, work as an examiner for Swiss federal vocational baccalaureate examinations, systemic coaching and current work in generative AI.
