Since November 2022, with the launch of ChatGPT, the impact of generative AI on (higher) education has grown rapidly. On 6 June 2024, the LAW Platform (Edusou rces) organized a study afternoon at VU Amsterdam focused on explorin g what generative AI is and its implications for education.

< p>Now, both the LAW Platform and the editorial board of Law & Met hod are organizing a follow-up study afternoon, this time focusing on generative AI in education and assessment. We aim to go beyond initi al exploration. Much experimentation has already taken place with the use of generative AI in legal education and assessment. It is becomi ng increasingly clear what is possible - and how this challenges the validity of current assessment practices. This raises fundamental dis cussions: about learning objectives, potential changes to them, and h ow we as universities can and should respond.

We want to discus s three topics:

  1. Learning objectives: Fundamental questio ns raised by GenAI, particularly regarding writingskills and independ ent critical thinking
  2. Methods: How GenAI can be used and ho w we can teach critical thinking
  3. Asessment: Reflection on t he rules and guidelines concerning assessment and its design(especial ly rubrics) given the existence of GenAI.

During the day, you are very welcome to contribute to one or more of the topics with a short pitch. Are you interested to contribute? Please email m.c.m.geuskens@vu.nl by 5 January 2026.

If you would like to attend, please register via this form. We look forward to your contribution and to welcoming you on the day!

DESCRIPTION: Since November 2022, with the launch of ChatGPT, the impa ct of generative AI on (higher) education has grown rapidly. On 6 Jun e 2024, the LAW Platform (Edusources) organized a study afternoon at VU Amsterdam focused on exploring what generative AI is and its impli cations for education. Now, both the LAW Platform and the editorial b oard of Law & Method are organizing a follow-up study afternoon, this time focusing on generative AI in education and assessment. We a im to go beyond initial exploration. Much experimentation has already taken place with the use of generative AI in legal education and ass essment. It is becoming increasingly clear what is possible - and how this challenges the validity of current assessment practices. This r aises fundamental discussions: about learning objectives, potential c hanges to them, and how we as universities can and should respond.We want to discuss three topics:
  1. Learning objectives: Fundament al questions raised by GenAI, particularly regarding writingskills an d independent critical thinking
  2. Methods: How GenAI can be u sed and how we can teach critical thinking
  3. Asessment: Refle ction on the rules and guidelines concerning assessment and its desig n(especially rubrics) given the existence of GenAI.
