Abstract

BACKGROUND: Programmatic assessment supports flexible learning and individual progression but challenges educators to develop frequent assessments reflecting different competencies. The continuous creation of large volumes of assessment items, in a consistent format and comparatively restricted time, is laborious. The application of technological innovations, including artificial intelligence (AI), has been tried to address this challenge. A major concern raised is the validity of the information produced by AI tools, and if not properly verified, it can produce inaccurate and therefore inappropriate assessments.
