This poster session showcases the Challenge Quiz, a collaborative summative assessment model powered by generative AI. For two years, I've used Magic School AI to craft realistic, complex scenarios in Biology, HL Biology and Environmental Sciences. Students don't just recall facts; they research, collaborate, and propose evidence-based solutions to problems like disease outbreaks or ecological disasters.
In about 20 minutes (of interacton with the audience):
-This session will provide a clear framework for implementation, display analyzed data on student engagement and skill development, and share a curated bank of effective AI prompts.
-They may walk away with practical strategies to use AI not just as a student tool, but as a powerful engine for creating authentic, future-ready assessments that measure what truly matters. And ideal, may discover how to transform your students from passive learners into proactive problem-solvers.
Attendees at this session will:
- Understand the framework and pedagogical rationale behind the "Challenge Quiz" model (with specific examples of Biology, HL Biology and Environmental Sciences)
- Explore a curated bank of effective AI prompts and a reusable assessment rubric (tested with MagicSchool AI)
- View analyzed data and examples of high-quality student work from two years of implementation.
- Read student feedback for these quizzes from two years of implementation.
- Access a digital portfolio (via QR code) containing all ready-to-use resources to replicate the practice (prompts).
