Formative Assessment and Feedback in the Age of AI
A quiz tells you who got it wrong, not why. Five days on the five strategies that close that gap, and on where AI genuinely helps.
About this course
A quiz tells you who got it wrong, not why. This week you take one task you already set your students and rebuild the assessment around it, using AI where it genuinely saves you time and not where it only produces more of the wrong thing. Monday — you write success criteria for your task…
Methodology
every exercise runs on a single assignment — your own, or a sample task if you prefer — rather than a case study. What you build early in the week you test later on.
each day names the pedagogical decision first and the software second, so the routine survives a tool changing its interface, its pricing or its owner.
six short documents you can use in your own classroom the following week — success criteria, a diagnostic question, a feedback rule, a peer protocol, a self-assessment routine, a community plan.
you work with a quiz or polling platform such as Kahoot and with whichever general-purpose assistant your school permits. Neither is presented as the answer; the live quiz rounds also work with a paper set of answer cards.
What you'll take home
Write learning intentions and success criteria for one of your own tasks, and test whether they actually separate strong work from middling work using three contrasting sample answers.
Build a diagnostic question in which every wrong option corresponds to a misconception your own students genuinely have, then read what the pattern of responses tells you.
Judge machine-drafted feedback against one test — does it tell the student what to do next, and does it leave the thinking to the student — and rewrite the comments that fail it.
Write response time into a lesson plan, so that feedback is something students act on rather than something they are handed.
Run a peer review round with a shared group goal and individual accountability, the two conditions cooperative-learning research attaches to group work.
Teach a self-assessment routine that still does its job when every student has an AI assistant in their pocket.
Draft a one-page plan for a monthly teacher learning community in your own school, with the first three agendas written.
