IATEFL – Assessment in the AI Era: Encouraging creative thinking

An IATEFL webinar presented by Jenifer Goldblum

As AI tools become more embedded in education, the challenge for teachers is no longer simply preventing misuse but redesigning assessment to foster genuine learning. This webinar explores how to move away from tasks that are easily replicable by AI and towards assessment that promotes originality, critical thinking, and cognitive effort. By shifting the focus from recall to creativity, participants will discover how to design tasks that encourage meaningful engagement and reduce the temptation to copy and paste.

The session reintroduces well-established pedagogical approaches through the lens of cognitive tools—strategies that support learners in constructing and expressing their own thinking. It also highlights how teachers can use emerging technologies as professional aids in planning, rubric design, and feedback, without compromising authenticity.

The ideas shared are adaptable to a wide range of contexts and levels, and the session aims to offer practical inspiration for those looking to reflect on and refresh their current assessment practices in a rapidly evolving educational landscape.
