It wasn't long ago they began banning student use of it for homework or test-taking. Admissions offices are different, though.

Beyond Rubrics: Using AI for Holistic Assessment

Stop pretending a static rubric captures actual learning. It does not. A rubric measures performance at a single point in time. But learning is a journey. It is full of failures, bad drafts, and sudden realisations. We traditionally ignore that "mess" because it is impossible to grade. Who has time to analyse every rough draft, voice note, and peer review for 30 students? NotebookLM removes that excuse.

I am interested in [supporting students applying to undergraduate programs in the UK]. Can you provide a selection of case studies from different students where this knowledge has been applied successfully? These case studies should include a brief overview, the challenges faced, the solutions implemented, and the outcomes achieved. This will help me understand how these concepts work in practice, offering new ideas and insights that I can consider applying to my own practice.

Please, if you have any great prompts or ideas, please share! Send me a note at [email protected].
