Innovative Learning would like to invite you to participate in a research study titled “Bridging the Gap: Investigating the Role of GenAI in Building a Culture of Effective Assessment" from Nov 11-Dec 9. This study is conducted by Laura Facciolo (Project Lead), Dempsey Cruz, and Adam Palczewski (Co-Investigators). 

The researchers have developed an OpenAI-powered tool (named “Bloom”) designed to support instructors in selecting educational technologies that align with assessment needs based on relevant learning outcomes. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the extent to which customized generative artificial intelligence (genAI) tools like “Bloom” can support and improve pedagogically grounded uses of educational technologies (edtech) for assessment purposes, which can have positive impacts on student engagement, grade performance, and learning outcomes (Biggs, 2014). The findings of this study will support the improvement of this AI solutions, as well as additional faculty support strategies.

Who can participate? All faculty members. Both full-time and non-full-time faculty are welcome to share their insights. 

When can I participate? The testing period will run from November 11 to Dececember 9.

Why participate? Your input will contribute to broader systemic changes in teaching and learning practices at Humber, encouraging an integrated approach to edtech and assessment design. 

If you have any questions, please contact Simranjeet Singh at simranjeet.singh2@humber.ca or Laura Facciolo at laura.facciolo@humber.ca.
