GenAI is reshaping higher ed assessment, but stop looking for a "solution." Findings show it’s a wicked problem—it can't be solved, only managed. 🤯 This fundamentally shifts how we approach policy & design.

What makes it wicked? It resists definitive formulation, has no 'correct' answers (only better/worse), & every move has consequences. It’s a design challenge, not a bug fix. Think Rittel & Webber.
This is a Dylan William & John Hattie-level intervention in thinking about impact.

1. Compromise
2. Diverge
3. Iterate
It’s about adaptive strategy, not finding a silver bullet. We must embrace the mess.
