Description¶

The article proposes an implementable design process for building assessment twins. As printed, "we propose an assessment twin design process: identifying vulnerabilities, aligning outcomes, selecting complementary tasks, and developing interdependent marking schemes". Each step moves an instructor from diagnosing GenAI vulnerability in an existing task to constructing a linked pair with shared outcomes and mutually dependent grading.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Instructors must first identify the GenAI vulnerabilities of the existing assessment and align both twins to the same learning outcomes before selecting tasks and building interdependent marking schemes.

Constraints¶

• The authors acknowledge the approach is resource intensive and raises equity concerns.

Target Learners¶

• higher education students

Target Learning Goals¶

• assessment redesign that preserves validity under generative AI availability

Affordances¶

• Assessment Twins Dual Linked Components
