Teaching and Learning with AI Conference

Traditional examinations, especially in a remote format, are susceptible to cheating. Instructors are increasingly returning to classical methods of assessment in response. The Alternative Examiner leverages AI to conduct individualized Socratic dialogues that can assess student reasoning, adaptability, and ethical judgment. Students are engaged in authentic, deep assessment while academic integrity is maintained via graduated consequence systems. This presentation explores the pedagogical design, ethical guardrails, and practical implementation of AI-mediated assessment that transforms evaluation from standardized testing into personalized learning pathways – at scale – preparing students for a world where human-AI collaboration is essential.
