Since November 2022, wi th the launch of ChatGPT, the impact of generative AI on (higher) edu cation has grown rapidly. On 6 June 2024, the LAW Platform (Edusource s) organized a study afternoon at VU Amsterdam focused on exploring w hat generative AI is and its implications for education.

Now, both the LAW Platform and the editorial board of Law & Method are organizing a follow-up study afternoon, this time focusing on genera tive AI in education and assessment. We aim to go beyond initial expl oration. Much experimentation has already taken place with the use of generative AI in legal education and assessment. It is becoming incr easingly clear what is possible - and how this challenges the validit y of current assessment practices. This raises fundamental discussion s: about learning objectives, potential changes to them, and how we a s universities can and should respond.

We want to discuss three topics:

  1. Learning objectives: Fundamental questions rais ed by GenAI, particularly regarding writingskills and independent cri tical thinking
  2. Methods: How GenAI can be used and how we ca n teach critical thinking
  3. Asessment: Reflection on the rule s and guidelines concerning assessment and its design(especially rubr ics) given the existence of GenAI.

During the day, you ar e very welcome to contribute to one or more of the topics with a shor t 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 welc oming you on the day!

DESCRIPTION: Now, both the LAW Platform and the editorial board of Law & Method are organizing a follow-up study afternoon, this time f ocusing on generative AI in education and assessment. We aim to go be yond initial exploration. Much experimentation has already taken plac e with the use of generative AI in legal education and assessment. It is becoming increasingly clear what is possible - and how this chall enges the validity of current assessment practices. This raises funda mental discussions: about learning objectives, potential changes to t hem, and how we as universities can and should respond. We want to di scuss three topics:
  1. Learning objectives: Fundamental questi ons raised by GenAI, particularly regarding writingskills and indepen dent critical thinking
  2. Methods: How GenAI can be used and h ow we can teach critical thinking
  3. Asessment: Reflection on the rules and guidelines concerning assessment and its design(especia lly rubrics) given the existence of GenAI.
