SUMMARY:Rethinking Assessment in the Age of AI: Transforming Evaluation Practices with Human‑Centered Approaches
DESCRIPTION:Higher education is entering a pivotal moment in which traditional assessment models built for predictable\, instructor‑centered learning environments are being reshaped by artificial intelligence\, rapidly evolving learner behaviours and growing demands for authentic\, skills‑based evaluation. \nThis webinar invites educators\, academic leaders\, policymakers and instructional designers to critically examine how assessment can evolve to remain credible\, equitable and pedagogically meaningful. \nDrawing on his teaching experience across college\, polytechnic and university settings\, Humber Polytechnic Professor Redwan Siddiqui illustrates how AI is altering student decision‑making\, expectations of feedback and the cognitive processes underlying assessment tasks. The session integrates lessons on using generative AI for assessment redesign\, highlighting evidence‑based strategies to develop human‑centered evaluation frameworks. These include approaches that foreground transparency\, behavioural insight and authentic performance toward more resilient\, future‑ready designs. \nParticipants will explore how AI can strengthen rather than undermine academic assessment by enabling richer demonstrations of learning\, scalable evaluation practices\, and ethical\, learner‑centered assessment ecosystems. Ultimately\, the session reframes AI not as a threat to academic integrity\, but as an opportunity to redesign assessments that are more meaningful\, adaptive and aligned with the realities of today’s digital learning landscape. \nKey takeaways\nParticipants will be able to: \n\nIdentify emerging shifts in learner behaviour driven by AI tools\, and understand how these changes influence how students approach tasks\, feedback and evaluation.\nRecognize structural gaps in legacy assessment systems\, and understand why higher education requires new approaches that remain credible and meaningful in AI‑supported learning environments.\nApply cross‑sector assessment insights drawn from teaching in college\, polytechnic and university contexts\, illustrating how different institutional environments shape effective evaluation design for the diverse classrooms.\nExplore concrete assessment innovations informed by research on generative AI\, including methods that enhance authenticity\, transparency and meaningful performance measurement.\nDevelop a future ready perspective on human‑centered evaluation approaches that views AI not as a threat to academic integrity\, but as a catalyst for pedagogical transformation and higher quality evaluation systems.\n\nHost:\n\n\n\n\nRedwan Siddiqui\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor of Supply Chain Management\, Humber Polytechnic\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRedwan Siddiqui is a Professor of Supply Chain Management at Humber Polytechnic and teaches in the Operations & Decision Sciences area at Wilfrid Laurier University. His research and teaching span applied artificial intelligence\, operations and supply chain management\, and decision‑making. An award‑winning educator who brings practical insights into designing assessments that promote integrity\, self regulation and deeper learning\, he has taught thousands of students and earned recognition for his commitment to high‑quality\, inclusive\, innovation‑driven instruction. He is currently pursuing his PhD at the University of Waterloo\, where his doctoral work explores behavioural decision‑making theories in the context of human–AI interactions. Before transitioning into academia\, Professor Siddiqui spent more than a decade advancing operational excellence for global brands across diverse industries. In addition to his academic and industry experience\, he is an active mentor with the Toronto Region Immigrant Employment Council\, supporting newcomer immigrants and early‑career professionals.\n\n\n\n\n  \n
