Instructors must adapt their evaluation methods in online courses to combat the challenges generative AI poses to the credibility of courses, write Mohammed Estaiteyeh (Brock University) and Rahul Kumar (Brock). Estaiteyeh and Kumar explain that asynchronous courses are most at risk of having their credibility challenged, as instructors cannot observe students’ thinking processes and generative AI can be easily applied to conventional assessments. While “less-than-ideal” strategies like short oral examinations and verified experiential learning components can respond to these challenges, the authors conclude that the design of asynchronous programs ultimately must be completely reconsidered.
