Many discussions about AI and assessment seem stuck.

AI detection does not work reliably. Returning to invigilated exams creates new problems, especially for online education.

One approach I have been exploring is to design assessment that makes student reasoning visible through structured peer scrutiny.

If we cannot guarantee the absence of AI, we should guarantee the presence of reasoning.

Yet returning to invigilated exams or constant oral testing raises its own problems, especially for online and distance education.

I have been exploring an alternative approach developed for a fully online postgraduate programme.

The idea is simple.

If we cannot guarantee the absence of AI, we should design assessment that guarantees the presence of reasoning.

Students submit their work, peers scrutinise the reasoning behind it, the author must respond to that scrutiny, and a small random sample is discussed with the instructor.

I have written a short reflection on this approach.

How are others redesigning assessment in response to generative AI?

In a recent review of an online Master’s programme, one question kept resurfacing: how do we know the student actually did the maths?

In my latest post, I argue that AI has not broken assessment. It has exposed weaknesses that were already there.

If correctness is no longer enough, what should count as evidence of learning?

Much debate about digital education focuses on tools and AI. Less attention is paid to how platforms quietly shape pedagogy, assessment, and learner agency.

I have published a short executive overview bringing together work on critical digital pedagogy and AI resilient assessment.

Where do you see pedagogy being shaped by default in your context?

From Imaginaries to Action: A Manifesto for Critical Digital Practice

New writing is live on my site. I explore how digital environments shape judgment, agency and the possibilities for learning. The post argues for a shift from tool centred thinking to a more reflective and imaginative form of digital pedagogy.

Much of what sustains digital learning happens quietly and without recognition. Servers are maintained, content is updated, and learners are supported through unseen acts of care. What if we treated this labour as pedagogy itself rather than background work?
