Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Technology, particularly generative artificial intelligence, poses ostensible “threats” to higher education, especially to learning outcomes and academic integrity. What is presented here is a “toolkit” that integrates four grounding concepts, cognitive offloading, automaticity, authentic assessment, and evaluative judgment, which seeks to provide educators with a foundation to consider the value of current assessments or a jumping off point for new assessment creation. Following this, four “filters” or consideration frameworks are presented to help neutralize the “threat” to assessments. They are Abandon to neutralize, Monitor to neutralize, and Enhance & Adopt to neutralize. Each filter encourages educators to consider certain questions and contexts as a means of supporting them as they explore the value of their current assessments and determine how best they want to move forward in the wake of ubiquitous technology.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
