This is a fascinating read. I really enjoyed the history, but even more so your explanation of the rupture between assessment and learning. The observation that AI is not the cause of the break, but the final straw is excellent. The disconnect between teaching and how we choose to assess is a problem that has been festering for too long. Thanks for bringing this problem so brilliantly to the light.
And I plan to steal this pithy but oh so insightful quote: When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.
Thanks Louise - I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I only wish I'd thought of that line - I might possibly have used it in the past as if I had! So go for it!!
