The students from EDPS 512 are thrilled to announce an upcoming online event centered around the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence in Educational Assessment. This is a free event, scheduled for March 20th, 2024 at 3:30PM, and will be approximately 1.5 hours in length. We are expecting to have two guest speakers, who have expertise and made contributions to the field. In addition to listening to speakers, we will also be engaging in collaborative breakout rooms.
