Title: Discussion on Different Aspects of Automated Assessment
Course: Assessment Using Digital Technology > Section: Automated Assessment and Data Analytics

In this discussion, we exchange opinions about the article and the text on tools for automated assessment.

The focus of the discussion is on the challenges, opportunities, and pedagogical implications of automated assessment. Special attention is given to critical reflection on topics such as:

- privacy and data protection
- algorithmic bias and ethical dilemmas
- limitations in interpreting results
- the role of teachers in an automated environment

Discussion questions:

- What benefits of automated assessment do you recognise in your educational context?
- What are your biggest challenges regarding the use of automated assessment tools?
- How do you approach the issues of privacy and data protection in the context of digital assessment?
- To what extent do you believe that algorithms are capable of replacing pedagogical judgement?
- Where do you draw the line between automation and expert evaluation?
- How would you improve existing assessment tools or practices with the help of technology, while maintaining the human component in evaluating knowledge?

Task:

- write your own reflection on one of the topics with a focus on your teaching context
- comment on at least one participant’s contribution, building upon it with an argument or an additional question.

Note

- The instructor will moderate the discussion, ask additional questions to deepen reflection, and provide supplementary materials and examples when needed.
- If you attach an example of digital content (a link or screenshot), you must include the source.
- Participation in this activity can earn you 1 point (formative assessment). The activity is not mandatory but is recommended for your learning and the exchange of experiences.
