Book excerpt: The rapid and profound permeation of generative AI technology into all aspects of modern society also changes the landscape of higher education and thus leads to a compelling call to harness the power of AI for transforming higher education. One of the most significant areas of opportunity offered by generative AI is in the assessment of learning. The goal of assessment is to foster learning especially essential for success beyond the classroom, and this can only be possible with well-designed assessments that have the potential for determining whether students have learned the content. By harnessing generative AI, assessments can be designed that have the potential to support inquiry-based learning and foster creativity, all essential for the development of a deeper conceptual understanding of content. Educational Assessments in the Age of Generative AI contributes to the effort to bring generative AI to the forefront of assessing students’ learning by exploring how the use of generative AI tools and applications can transform and revolutionize assessment practices. Furthermore, it is devoted to exploring the use of AI in assessments to measure knowledge, skills and students’ abilities in order to prepare them for careers in the 21st century. Covering topic including academic integrity, higher education, and mathematics education, this book is an excellent resource for educators, higher education administrators, policymakers, information technology support professionals, tests and assessment developers, researchers, scholars, academicians, professionals, and more.
